Re: passing vars. betn. php and javascript

Okay I'm beginning to understand. I don't think you have to use Javascript in this situation you jsut have to be a little clever about how you build your URL string. You can send an array through the URL by splitting up each value like this.. $url = 'http://www.domain.com/index.php?myarray[]='.$myarray[0]; for ($i=1; $i<count($myarray); $i++) { $url .= '&myarray[]='.$myarray[$i]; } header("Location: $url"); You will get $_GET[myarray] on the other side. OR you can do a single comma or semicolon delimited string and then explode(',' $myarray) on the other end to reconstitue the array.
