[SOLVED] Make array from $_GET?

[monkeytooth]

Ok I need to make a single var passed via URL look like an array. Is there anyway to do that.

 

Im trying to avoid having to reinvent the wheel on a specific section of a site im working on. Right now I have a form and the builds an array to be passed on via $_POST which that works fine.

 

However the specific page im working on is a key to editing DB entries for the site. Sometimes theres just a need to only edit/remove one entry. Which I want to pass onto this page via URL and then use $_GET to snag the var I want to use. Problem is with the loop im running it only recognizes input as array. So with that, how can i take that single $_GET var and turn it into an array? Anyone?

Something like this should work:

<?php
$var = (is_array($_GET['var']))?$_GET['var']:array($_GET['var']);
?>

 

unless I misunderstood what you're trying to do.

If ken's answer is not what you are looking for, you can look into serialize and unserialize, but re-reading the question, I think ken hit the nail on the header.

That's it exactly, thank you.. I was definitely approaching that Bass Ackwards.. with how i was attempting to make an array out of the $_GET
