this is better:
<?php
function postHTMLLink( $name, $formular= array() )
{ ?>
<script language="javascript">
foreach( $formular as $key => $value )
{?>
arr_formular['<? echo $key; ?>'] = '<? echo $value; ?>';
<? }?>
</script>
<a href="javascript:postHTML(arr_formular)"><?php echo $name; ?></a>
<script language="javascript">
arr_formular = Array;
</script>
<? }
?>
and the example should look like:
<?php
$array = array (0 => "myform",
1 => "http://www.myworld.com",
2 => "_top",
"testvar1" => 1,
"testvar2" => 2);
postHTMLLink("Example", $array);
?>
this will generate this:
// start output
<script language="javascript">
arr_formular['0'] = 'myform';
arr_formular['1'] = 'http://www.myworld.com';
arr_formular['2'] = '_top';
arr_formular['testvar1'] = '1';
arr_formulat['testvar2'] = '2';
</script>
<a href="javascript:postHTML(arr_formular);">Example</a>
<script language="javascript">
arr_formular = Array;
</script>
// end output
and you have to make sure, that arr_formular is defined in javascript one
time:
so this.
> <script language="javascript">
> function postHTML(arr_formular)
should be:
<script language="javascript">
arr_formular = new Array;
function postHTML(arr_formular)
