array issue

[_0_05_]

alright, i have a multidimensional array, that i want to put into 1 hidden form field. Now, how would i do that, and retrieve it in the next function still as a multidimensional array?

Try using serialization. Read: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php

You'll do something like the following:

• Serialize the array, which creates a string with all the values of the array

• Store the string representation of your array into a hidden form variable. Make sure you POST the form

• Use the unserialize function to get your array back.

hey, thanks a lot, i got it to work - and for those of you interested, you should use the following to have a value in your hidden field:

   

$information = urlencode(serialize($array));

and to retrieve the value, use:

$vars = unserialize(urldecode($_POST['information']));
