How to pass an array ???

[vivin1]

Hi there,
I run a query and collect all the data in a two dimensional array. How can i pass that array over a link....

Here is the structure of my code :

$sql = "select ........ ";
$res = pg_exec($conn,$sql)
while($row = @pg_fetch_array($res,$tick++)) {
$planner_list[] = array("customer_id" => $row["customer_id"],
"customer" => $row["customer"],
.....
...
);
}

<a href="display_results.php?result=<?=$planner_list?>" >

It does not do it for me - when i later check the URL - it comes up as
http://dev.xyz.com/diplay_results.php?result=Array

It means that i donot get anything in the result array.

I would realy appreciate your help if you could let me know how to pass the array over a link

Thank you
Viv

Take a look at the functions [man]serialize/man and [man]unserialize/man.

This is the page where the data is created:

<?php

# The array
$array = array("value", "another value");
$string = serialize($array);

# Send to the other page.
header("Location: page.php?array=$string");

?>

This is the page that should get the array:

<?php

# Copy the serialize array.
$string = isset($_GET["array"]) ? urldecode($_GET["array"]) : "";

# Unserialize the string.
$array = unserialize($string);

# Display the structure of the array.
echo "<pre>". print_r($array, true);

?>
