Note Submitter: kevin at unison dot ie ---- I was looking for a way to send product array data to a script via POST, the product information could vary slightly and have elements update or added depending on actions taken by the user. The data would then have to be repackaged as hidden fields (sessions were not an option) eg <FORM action="" method="post"> <INPUT name="product[0][product_id]" type="hidden" value="1"> <INPUT name="product[0][product_name]" type="hidden" value=".com"> <INPUT name="product[0][price]" type="hidden" value="14.99"> <INPUT name="product[0][duration]" type="hidden" value="5"> <INPUT name="product[1][product_id]" type="hidden" value="6"> <INPUT name="product[1][product_name]" type="hidden" value=".ie"> <INPUT name="product[1][price]" type="hidden" value="89.99"> <INPUT name="submitted" type="hidden" value="true"> <INPUT name="submit" type="submit"> </FORM> Below is a piece of code that I hope will save someone a bit of time. $arr_Products = $_REQUEST['product']; $int_OuterCntr = 0; foreach($arr_Products as $arr_ProductDetails) { foreach($arr_ProductDetails as $p) { $arr_Keys = array_keys($arr_ProductDetails, $p); // gets the keys to be used as the element name foreach($arr_Keys as $str_Keys) { echo'<INPUT name="product['.$int_OuterCntr.']['. $str_Keys.']" type="hidden" value="'.$p.'">'; } } $int_OuterCntr++; } ---- Reason: useless example
