    Php Form and Array

    Dear all,

    I created the following php form.

    <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="prova.p hp">
    <b>Combinatio n</b><br><br>
    Element 1: <INPUT NAME="el1" TYPE="TEXT">
    <BR>
    Element 2: <INPUT NAME="el2" TYPE="TEXT">
    <br>
    <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE"Submit">
    </FORM>
    <br>
    Combination<br> <br>

    <?php
    $combination[] = ($_REQUEST["el1"].$_REQUEST["el2"]);
    print_r($combin ation);
    $combinations[] = $combination;
    print_r($combin ations);
    ?>

    When I fill the two text fields of the form in the browser, the inserted
    text is included in the array $combination and then $combination is
    included in the array $combinations.
    When I reload the page, I fill again the two text fields and the new
    inserted text overwrites the old inserted text. This is a problem.
    I'd like that the array "combinatio ns" includes both the old inserted
    text and the new inserted text, but I don't know how to do this.
    Can you help me please?
    Many thanks.

    Best,
    Nico

      Hi Nico

      Sounds like you are trying ot make the data persist between page
      refreshes. The best way to handle this is to use 'sessions' and make
      $combinations into a session variable like $_SESSION['combinations'][]
      Just start your PHP code with session_start() ; and then manipulate
      your array :o)
