note 29189 added to function.implode

If you do this to pass an array through a form to another page for ($n=0; $n<= count($choice) -1; $n++){ echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"choice[]\" value=$choice[$n]></input>"; } and then you extract it and output it to a page with for ($n=0; $n<= count($_POST['choice']) -1; $n++){ if ($_POST['choice'][$n] != "") { $choice[$n] = slash_and_html($_POST['choice'][$n]); echo $choice[$n]."<BR>"; } } [ slash_and_html returns stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($the_string,ENT_QUOTES)); ] everything works fine as long as the array does not contain a number. If you put numbers in your array strings such as: 1st choice 2nd choice Choice 3 choice 4 3 choice What you get out is this: 1st 2nd Choice choice 3 for some reason the string is truncated at or near the number. Maybe somebody might like to report this as a bug, but maybe the bug is in the documentation which tells you to use this method when there is a simple easier method. Use the array implode and explode functions which convert an array into a string and vice versa and pass the array as a string. Send with this: $choice_imploded = implode("|", $choice); echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"choice_imploded\" value=\"$choice_imploded\"></input>"; and receive and print with this $choice = explode("|", $_POST['choice_imploded']); for ($n=0; $n<= count($choice) -1; $n++){ if ($choice[$n] != "") { $choice[$n] = slash_and_html($choice[$n]); echo $choice[$n]."<BR>"; } } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29189 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29189 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29189
