[Resolved] Pass an Array Through _GET

[digitalflash]

Is it possible to pass an array to a new page via GET?

So, for instance, if I have an array, $permit[], and want to pass it's contents along to a new page, can I do something like:

header("Location: $SECUREPATH/administration/users_process2.php?permit=" . $permit . "\n");

Not sure of the syntax. Then on the new page, I'd access it with:

$_GET['permit[1]']

$_GET is stored in the addy, so yes. Look up at the top of the page. 😛

"http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10299726"

In other words,

$_GET['threadid'] = 10299726;

😉

Except that in my example, "threadid" would itself be an array. So on the receiving page, the $_GET array would contain an element ("threadid", or in my case "permit") which was itself an array.

Or maybe I'm not following you. Sorry.

never tried it, but i imagine you would need to [man]serialize[/man] it first, then [man]unserialize[/man] it again on the other side before you use it.

I couldn't get that to work...probably because I have never used serialized/unserialized.

I did find a solution, though, by using implode() to convert the array into a string, appending the string to the URL, and using explode() on the next page.

Thanks for the suggestions.
