I'm trying to pass a variable from a search page to the results page via GET. The $MANUFACTURERS variable contains an array and is obtained from the URL. I've tried the following to no avail... <input name="manufacturer[]" type="hidden" multiple id="manufacturer[]" value=<?php $manufacturer ?>> [snip]
<input name="manufacturer" type="hidden" multiple id="manufacturer" value="<?php echo htmlentities(serialize($manufacturer)); ?>"> Then to get the array back on the receiving page: $manufacturer = unserialize($_GET['manufacturer); Or just stick the array in the session... $_SESSION['manu'] = $manufacturer; and on receiving page: $manufacturer = $_SESSION['manu']; -- ---John Holmes...
