Sending an array from a form

Re: Sending an array from a form

serialize() :)

http://uk.php.net/serialize

Generates a storable representation of a value

You also might want to look at base64_encode, as that will make it less
obvious what it is (and safer for moving around).

serialize is a lot easier ;)

Sure it is, but I understood that the data for the array would come from the
fields of the form, while using serialize, the data should already be
available at the script, serialized there and echoed to a value a form
field. Depending on what the original poster really asked, both of these
could be valid solutions. I just assumed that he wanted the values of the
array from the form fields, of course I could be wrong.

Well noticed :) I guess his question was a bit ambiguous - your solution is
exactly what he needs if he wants to populate an array directly from a form.

Makes me wonder why people don't read the documentation ;)

Re: Sending an array from a form

I am the original poster.(Differe nt login-google).
To Kimmo: Now I have 2 ways of doing it. How long would it have been
for me to learn both ways.
So the reply to you're comment "Makes me wonder why people don't read
the documentation ;)" (which we all see at least once in every long
post) is
I (We) do read the documentation. But:
A. Sometimes we cant find what we're looking for fast enough.If we
knew the answer we wouldnt ask.
B. Sometimes we cant find what we're looking for .
C. More often you get better advice from other people.
Thanks,
Mike

Just my $.02 worth:

I'm doing the same thing with multiple multi-dimensional arrays that
must pass from one form to another. Advice received from this site
recommended storing the arrays in $_SESSION['array_name'] and it works
just fine.

There, you now have THREE ways to do the same thing. And I, too, DO
read the manuals, the docs, buy the book, subscribe to the mags, etc.,
and I STILL ask here because here (and other forums) provide REAL
WORLD ANSWERS that seem to work.

After all, we read these forums to learn and, if possible, to share
our knowledge and help someone else.

You can always implode the array ("join", for the fans of the
OTHER scripting language) and send it as a single string.
