<?php
class Batcharray extends Database 
{









function getArrayData()
{

						$batch_date 				= $_POST['batch_date'];
						$batch_number 				= $_POST['batch_number'];
						$original_proof_num 		= $_POST['original_proof_num'];	
						$batch_status 				= $_POST['batch_status'];
						$invoice_num_ccaus 			= $_POST['invoice_num_ccaus'];
						$carrier 					= $_POST['carrier'];
						$num_of_boxes 				= $_POST['num_of_boxes'];
						$toll_consign_num 			= $_POST['toll_consign_num'];
						$custId 					= $_POST['custId'];
						$venueId 					= $_POST['venueId'];
						$bpay 						= $_POST['bpay'];
						$proof_tracking_comments 	= $_POST['proof_tracking_comments'];
						$veunue_comments 			= $_POST['veunue_comments'];


	$batchlist = array(	"batcharray" =>  array(	"batch_date" 				=> 	$batch_date,
											   	"batch_number"  		 	=> 	$batch_number ,
											   	"original_proof_num"  		=> 	$original_proof_num,	
											 	"batch_status" 				=> 	$batch_status,
											 	"invoice_num_ccaus" 		=> 	$invoice_num_ccaus,
											 	"carrier"					=> 	$carrier,
											 	"num_of_boxes"  			=> 	$num_of_boxes,
											 	"toll_consign_num"  		=> 	$toll_consign_num ,
											 	"custId"  					=>	$custId ,
											 	"venueId"  					=> 	$venueId,
											 	"bpay" 						=> 	$bpay,
											 	"proof_tracking_comments"	=> 	$proof_tracking_comments,
											 	"veunue_comments"			=> 	$veunue_comments,
									 )
							 	);







				/*$batchlist = array_merge((array)$batchlist,(array) $batcharray1);
				print_r( $batchlist );*/


				foreach( $batchlist["batcharray"] as $key => $value)
				{
					echo "$key, $value <br />";
				}
		reset($batchlist);
while (list($key, $val) = each($batchlist)) {
    echo "$key => $val\n";
}

}

}

?>

            [original_proof_num] => 596
            [batch_status] => New
            [invoice_num_ccaus] => 852
            [carrier] => Toll

When you say adding a new record, are you re-submitting a form expecting the information being submitted to be added to the previous submission? If so how are you persisting the array? If your not, or you don't know what I'm talking about (which probably means your not), then that's your problem. With PHP variables/objects only exist from the time you call the script until the end of the script. Unless you are storing the array (ie persisting it) in a SESSION or some other persistent storage, the next time the script is called a new class object is created, thus explaining why you no longer have old values.
