Re: Passing PHP Arrays as type "hidden" in a HTML Form

It might be a bit late, but PHP-DEV is for developing PHP, not for developing WITH PHP. Use php-general@lists.php.net for support questions. Sander On 2002.03.12 20:37 Surya Saraff wrote:

oldStatus

here...

and

access it by value. for eg: IN t.php <?php $a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); print ("<form action =\"t1.php\" method = post

");

print("<input type = hidden name =\"_a\" value

=$a

");

print("<input type =submit value=submit>"); print("</form>"); ?> IN t1.php (the page i am calling) <?php $a = $HTTP_POST_VARS["_a"]; echo $a[1]; //i want "2" to be printed here,

since

$a[0]=1, $a[1] =2 --- is it possible? ?> Any suggestions as to how can I pass the value

of

the array through an HTML form, would be a great

help!

Thanks, Surya
