arrays, loops and forms - HELP!

[robcrozier]

Hi everyone, i have a problem at the min that is doing my head in!

 

OK what i have is a form, within it is a loop.

 

Each time this loop is executed a number of queries is stored within an array (may be 1, may be 5 queries etc). I think this bit's going fine.

 

OK, now what i want to do is pass this array of queries to another script when the form is submitted so that they can be executed etc. i dont want the queries to be executed until the form has been submitted.

 

ill collect the array of queries a bit like this when they are received:

$x = 0;
while (is_array($queries[$x])) 
{
  $query = $queries[$x]; 
  echo $query;
  $x ++;
}

 

how can i get the array of queries passed from the form to the script which will handle them?

 

any help appreciated, cheers

You can use serialize and send the serialized array along in a hidden input field. Then unserialize it in your script, and POW you've restored the original array.

I found out that my method above not always will work, but read this topic to get the solution.
