Re: multple select forms... going to hit my head against a wall ..

If you don't put it in a session var, and need to transport it you can use f. x. : <input type=hidden name='user_selections' value='<?=implode( "||", $select )?>'> This puts double pipe-chars between the array variables. You can later (when u need to use the vars again) use: $select = explode( "||", $user_selections ); to put it into an array again. -J ----- Original Message ----- From: <hsmith@twilyt.com> To: "Adrian Murphy" <adrian.murphy@eudos.com> Cc: "PHP list" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 1:26 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] multple select forms... going to hit my head against a wall .. > Having soved this .. thanks .. now for the next question .. *grin* > > I have the $select ... but I only use it on the next page .. heheh > so I'm trying the following .. > > <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"select\" value=\"$select\"> > > which of course doens't work .. nor does > > <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"select[]" value=\"$select\"> > > any idea on how to pass an array on in an input field in a form ? > > Henti > > > > On Tue, Jan 23, 2001 at 12:01:40PM -0000, Adrian Murphy wrote: > > hey, > > since u are slecting multiple options you'll have to use an array > > here's how.i u need explanation,feel free to mail me: > > > > <? > > if ($select==""){ > > print" > > <form method=\"post\" name=\"select\" > > action=\"test.php3\"> > > <SELECT MULTIPLE NAME=\"select[]\"> > > <Option VALUE=\"Chocolate\">Chocolate/Chocolate Chip > > <Option VALUE=\"Peanut\">Peanut Brittle/Vanilla > > <Option Selected VALUE=\"Cookie\">Cookie Batter > > <Option VALUE=\"Blueberry\">Vanilla/Blueberry > > <Option VALUE=\"Caramel\">Caramel Swirl > > <Option VALUE=\"Other\">Other... > > </select><br> > > <input type=\"submit\" name=\"send\" value=\"test\"> > > </form> > > "; > > > > }else{ > > > > ///count array > > $num = count($select); > > > > file://loop through array > > for($i = 0;$i <$num;$i++){ > > print $select[$i] .
