Passing Arrays

[sodascape]

Like passing a kidney stone, i'm finding this difficult....

I have a page with a form and a bunch of different checkboxes, I want to put all of the selected checkbox values into an array.... which I have done, but then I want to take that array and pass it to another page....so on the second page, it shows all of the values in that array....  can't seem to get it.

Can you help?!?!

Well this is off the top of my head, but I think its right;

Create the checkboxes like:
[code]
<form action="test.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="myarray[]" value="Value 1"><br />
<input type="checkbox" name="myarray[]" value="Value 2"><br />
<input type="checkbox" name="myarray[]" value="Value 3"><br />
<input type="checkbox" name="myarray[]" value="Value 4"><br />
<input type="submit" value="test">
</form>[/code]

Then for debugging purposes:
test.php
[code]<?php
print_r($_POST["myarray"]);
?>[/code]

hth :)

Is that going to pass the ARRAY values from one page to  another page, or does that just print out the values of the array? I can get it to do that, but I need the ARRAY created on one page and then listed on another page.

How are you wanting to pass the values to another page: Form post, Session variable, on the URL???

[sodascape]

A form on one page, with a bunch of CHECKBOX items, all of the selected CHECKBOX items are added to an array via the form......and then the ARRAY is sent to another page and on that page, the items of the array are displayed.

EXAMPLE:  Page 1 has "select colors"  I pick out RED, GREEN and BLUE.... then I click the SUBMIT button and it takes me to the next page, and on Page 2 it says "You have selected the colors: RED GREEN AND BLUE.  Make sense?

Well!

You can't pass an array directly from one page to another page(this i came to know by this forum :( when i had the same problem!)

If you are passing the values from one form to another..via POST ..there you can pass it.

If in case you want to pass an array from one page to another page using URL ..before passing it you should make it as a string .like this

[code]
<?php
$str=implode(",",$array);
?>
[/code]

in next page you have to use explode function to form it as an array again!

Third case if you want to pass it using a SESSION variable..simply assign it to a session variable.

[code]
<?php
$_SESSION['name']=array()# you can assign it directly too..but in case if array had  a single value in it..the this session will act as a string.

$_SESSION['name']=$array;
?>
[/code]

That's basically what heckenschutze's code does
