Passing $_POST arrays

[sanfly]

Hi All

 

Im probably overlooking something simple here, but if someone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

 

I have a form which people fill in, it takes them to a page where the details are all displayed, and they then click on confirm to verify that these details are correct.

 

I thought the easiest thing to do would be to pass the whole post array through the form on the "confirm" page, then just extract it on the next (processing) page

 

However, when I try print_r on the value I assigned to the post array, it just says "Array".  My code is below, what have I done wrong?

 

At the end of the confirm page:

 

<form method="post" action="booking2.php?action=book3">
	<input type="hidden" name="postArray" value="<?=$_POST?>">
	<input type="hidden" name="confirmed" value="1">
	<input type="Button" onclick="history.back(); return false" value="« EDIT DETAILS"> 
	<input type="submit" value="CONFIRM DETAILS »">
</form>

 

 

And on the next (processing) page:

 

<?// Get posted variables
$postArray = $_POST['postArray'];
$confirmed = $_POST['confirmed'];

print_r($postArray);?>

I have decided to pass the array as a session instead, but would still be interested in a solution for doing it this way if anyone knows

The problem is in this part on the first page...

 

<input type="hidden" name="postArray" value="<?=$_POST?>">

 

All that is going to do is show

 

<input type="hidden" name="postArray" value="Array()">

 

And if you right click on the page and view source, that's what you will see. You cannot pass an array from page to page like that through a form, I'm pretty sure it has to be done through a session.

try

<?php
$a = array('"sasa"',2,'xyz\'s',12.33,array('k'=>9,'l'=> 8,'m'=> 7));
$one =array(':\'','\';','"');
$two =array(':"','";','"');
$b = str_replace($two,$one,serialize($a));
if($_POST){
$x = unserialize(str_replace($one,$two,stripslashes($_POST['val_array'])));
echo "<pre>";
print_r($x);
echo "</pre>";
}

echo '<form method="POST">
<input type="hidden" value="'.$b.'" name="val_array">
<input type="submit">
</form>';
?>
