Hello, Is there a way to populate an array from one script to the next one? I'm using a form, and a hidden field for such desire: <input name="hwt[]" type="hidden" value="<?php echo($hwGSM);?>"> but it returns this: <input name="hwt[]" type="hidden" value="Array"> then I pretend to read the array again at the target script by coding the following: $hw=$_POST['hwt']; $hwGSM=$hw[0]; for($i=0;$i<=$maxpoint;$i++){

        echo($hwGSM[$i]);

} It should be pretty easy but I have not done it ever! Regards, Miguel Guirao

You have to make inputs for every element of the array. something like this : foreach($hwGSM AS $key => $value){ echo "<input name='hwt[$key]' type="hidden" value='$value'> } And then after the submit you will have your array $hwt. PHP will make an array out of all that inputs. Another option you can use if you want a single input is to serialize the array, on the form, and then unserialize it in the script processing the form. http://bg2.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php http://bg2.php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php
