RE: [PHP] Arrays

Thank you to all for help with this. Once I have a general idea of which path to head down, I can figure it out pretty well from there, and you have all given me a pretty good road map. Anyway, thanks again. It is greatly appreciated. I'll let you know hot it all comes out.

I personally would put the array into a session variable ($_SESSION - see reference) and access the various parts as needed. Another option is sending the whole array or it's parts as hidden fields in a form (access with the $_GET and $_POST - again see reference), but that means the user has to click a submit button. If you are trying to store the array in a Database I would suggest you make each element of the array into it's own column of the database. Databases generally should only have 1 piece of information being saved per cell (think excel). If you would like a link to database design, let me know and I will send it. If all you really were asking was how to iterate through an array - then I would recommend looking at the manual's page on arrays ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php ).
