Array: same key, multiple values

[rednax]

Hello,

 

I've written a curl script that needs the following POST string...

 

$Fields = array('relist' => '0', 'tgp[1][]' => '1', 'tgp[1][]' => '10', 'tgp[1][]' => '56', 'gallery_url' => $galleryURL, 'gallery_title' => $galleryTitle, 'newthumb' => $newLocation, 'save' => 'Insert');

 

The issue lies with the tgp[1][] key... I need three different values, but with this system only the last value is used.

 

I've tried this:

$catName = "tgp[1][]";
$catNameArray = array($cat_1, $cat_2, $cat_3); 

$Fields = array('relist' => '0', $catName => $catNameArray, 'gallery_url' => $galleryURL, 'gallery_title' => $galleryTitle, 'newthumb' => $newLocation, 'save' => 'Insert');

 

But that doesn't work... any suggestions?

You can do something like this:

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,  array('cat1'=>"washington",
				'cat2'=>"jefferson",
				'cat3'=>"adams",
				'cat4'=>"lincoln",
				'cat5'=>"roosevelt",
				'cat6'=>"clinton",
				'cat7'=>"bush",
				'cat8'=>"reagan"));

 

but if you are trying to send an array as a post var, I don't think that is possible.

the problem is that each of those keys are different... mine are the same.

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,  array('cat[1][]'=>"washington",

'cat[1][]'=>"jefferson",

'cat[1][]'=>"adams"));

 

Is there another way to send this with curl?

Two options: You either must specify the actual indexes of the arrays like so:

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,  array('cat[1][0]'=>"washington",
               'cat[1][1]'=>"jefferson",
               'cat[1][2]'=>"adams"));

 

This is necessary because you cannot have two elements of an array with the same key. By specifying them as you were, you were just overwriting the value each time.

 

Your second option is to specify the postfields as a string like this:

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'cat[1][]=washington&cat[1][]=jefferson&cat[1][]=adams');
