PHP: Converting a PHP array into an HTML array

koosha · 08-09-2009, 05:05 PM

Hi.
------------
I'm writing a PHP program. I've encountered a problem; in the following code I try to pass $_POST['delete'] which is an array as the value of a hidden input to some form, but it doesn't do so.

In fact, there's something wrong with converting PHP array into HTML array.

I'm sure that $_POST['delete'] is not null and is a real array.

echo '<input type="hidden" name="delete[]" value="'.$_POST['delete'].'" />';

Please help me!

1. there are no html arrays.
2. multiple values are possible in select fields but I don't think they are possible in type='hidden'.

Possible solution will be to keep them in a session variable.

or make the value of the hidden field a list of array elements separated by a separator and split that in the next request

$val = $e[0]."-_-".$e[1]."-_-".$e[2]."-_-".$e[3];

OK. Thanks everybody. I use session variable. That solved my problem.
