array help

Hi everyone, I am running into a problem which seems to be giving me a real headache. I have several different forms which some times they are array and sometimes they are not depending on the form. I would like to be able to insert the array into a database and echo out the user selection before submittal. overall I have over 41 forms.

Here is something I came up with pretty quick but is not doing what i want it to ?

$array1 = array();
$array2 = array();

if(is_array($_SESSION['material'])){
foreach($_SESSION['material'] as $_POST['material']){
	$array1[]  = $_POST['material'];
	}

}
if(is_array($SESSION['pr_type'])){
foreach($SESSION['pr_type'] as $POST['pr_type']){
$array2[]= $POST['pr_type'];
}
}

foreach takes a value in said array, and assigns it to a variable for that loop. Having said that doing foreach ($anyarray as $RESERVERED_ARRAY_NAME) will not work wether the reserved name is $POST, $GET, $_SERVER etc...

Try just:

$array1 = array();
if( is_array($_SESSION['material']) ) {
   foreach($_SESSION['material'] as $material) {
      $array1[] = $material;
   }
}

Also, you are checking if something is an array, then sending all those values to another array. Why not just use the original array?

Thanks for the reply you are very much so correct.

I also figure out by implode the array I am able to echo out all the values stored with in it.
