I am trying to learn how to work with arrays, and have the basic
concept
down for working within a single page, but I am having trouble
sending an
array from one page to another. For example, I can send a variable
from
page to page using either the URL, such as www.domain.com/?foo=bar,
or using
a form, but can I send an array from one page to another using a
form so
that all the values in the array will be sent? Such as:
The easy way to do this is with sessions; be it strings, numbers,
arrays, whatever.
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['myarray']['one'] = 1;
$_SESSION['myarray']['two'] = 2;
$_SESSION['myarray']['three'] = 3;
$_SESSION['myarray']['four'] = 4;
$_SESSION['myarray']['five'] = 5;
// Now you have array $_SESSION['myarray'] with your values in it
?>
And then any page with session_start() should load all the values
stored in $_SESSION on subsequent pages. Much easier than messing
around with forms and submitting from page to page. Since $_SESSION
itself is an array, you can load it up with anything you want -
strings, numbers, other arrays, other nested arrays, etc.
<?php
$_SESSION['blah'] = 'foo';
$_SESSION['count'] = 5;
$_SESSION['myarray']['five']++; // five is now 6
?>
