@NogDogSep 13.2010 — #Not sure what you mean. Perhaps [url=http://php.net/serialize]serialize[/url] () is what you're looking for? Perhaps you'd be better off using PHP sessions to maintain that data between pages instead of passing it via the form?@NogDogSep 14.2010 — #You could do something like this, though I'd still prefer to use sessions if at all possible (or something else that keeps the data on the server).
Passing array like a variable in a form?
I know how to pass a variable in a form:
<?php
$display_variable = $_POST[variable_name];
echo $display_variable;
?>
<form method=”POST” action”<?php $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]; ?>”>
<input type=”text” name=”variable_name” value=”This Value” >
<input type=”submit”>
</form>
Submission will output:
This Value
My question is, is there a simple way to pass an array like this?

foreach($stuff as $value) {
if(!is_scalar($value) {
error_log("non-scalar value in stuff");
continue;
}
// note use of brackets in input element's name:
printf("<input type='hidden' name='stuff[]' value='%s' />n",
htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES));
}
