Re: Arrays

[Ligaya Turmelle <lig@xxxxxxxx>]

There are a couple of ways to pass arrays (and their values) between 
pages.  I personally would put the array into a session variable 
($_SESSION - see reference) and access the various parts as needed. 
Another option is sending the whole array or it's parts as hidden fields 
in a form (access with the $_GET and $_POST - again see reference), but 
that means the user has to click a submit button.

If you are trying to store the array in a Database I would suggest you 
make each element of the array into it's own column of the database. 
Databases generally should only have 1 piece of information being saved 
per cell (think excel).  If you would like a link to database design, 
let me know and I will send it.

If all you really were asking was how to iterate through an array - then 
 I would recommend looking at the manual's page on arrays ( 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php ).
