[Resolved] passing PHP arrays through HTML forms

[bsachnoff]

I created an Array in PHP. I then want to send it to another webpage and be able to retreive the array and display it. Here is the code:
Page1:
<?php
$db_table[] = array("car","make","model");
echo"<form action='post_array_info.php' method='post'>";
echo"<input type='hidden' name='db_table[]' value='$db_table'>";
echo"<input type='submit' value='submit_it' name='Submit data'>";
print_r ($db_table);
?>
Page 2:
<?php
$db_table=$_POST['db_table'];
echo "0=$db_table[0]<br>";
print_r ($db_table);
?>

My output looks like this:
0=Array
Array ( [0] => Array )

My am I not seeing car for [0] and the print_r showing me car,make,model? I've tried a couple of different ways but it still only shows the word Array.

Thanks,

Brent

when you echo an array to html like this:

value='$db_table'

it just prints out like this:

Array

if you want to pass the whole array, then serialize() it.

in page 1:
echo"<input type='hidden' name='db_table' value='" . serialize($db_table) . "'>";

in page 2:

$db_table=unserialize($_POST['db_table']);
