Re: [PHP] Passing Arrays between pages
Please can someone tell me how you pass arrays between PHP pages. $var = serialize($testArray); echo INPUT NAME = \kcompany[]\ TYPE = \hidden\ VALUE=\$var\; Then unserialize the variable on the receiving page.

Re: [PHP] Passing Arrays between pages
1. you can put your array in string using implode() function and on next
page create the array back using explode() function.
$testArray = implode('|', $testArray);
# you will get: Apple|Banana|Peach
On next page: $testArray = explode('|', $testArray);
2. use serialize()/unserialize() functions
For more info read manual.

I have tried something like this and have tried many variations of this but
nothing working yet ;
Page 1
$testArray[0] =Apple;

$testArray[2] =Peach;
echo INPUT NAME = \kcompany[]\ TYPE = \hidden\ VALUE=\$testArray\;
Page2
echo $testArray[1];
On different variations of this I keep on getting 'Array' when I to return
the variable on the second page
Many Thanks.

$var = serialize($testArray);
echo INPUT NAME = \kcompany[]\ TYPE = \hidden\ VALUE=\$var\;
Then unserialize the variable on the receiving page.
To this you might also add an MD5 hash to check for authenticity,
depending on what you're doing with that incoming data that you're
unserializing (consider an client who sends you a serialized array that
you didn't intend). You'll also want to encode the serialized data with
htmlentities:
$serialized = serialize($testArray);
$hash = md5($serialized . my secret phrase);
echo 'input type=hidden name=serialized
value='.htmlentities($serialized).'';
echo 'input type=hidden name=hash value='.$hash.'';
then on the receiving end:
if ($_POST['hash'] != md5($_POST['serialized'] . my secret phrase) {
// the hash doesn't match up, consider the data unusable
} else{
$testArray = unserialize($_POST['serialized']);
}

Always use isset() to check if something exists before trying

you probabley need something like this
$level_0 = array('NONE');

$level_2 = array(PN, GALUP, VP, PUBUP, MCI, CONLIST,

Actually, I'd like to suggest that a variable variable is the wrong tool for
this, and an array should be used instead -- something like:
$level = array(1 = array(PN, GALUP, VP, PUBUP,

2 = array(PN, GALUP, VP, PUBUP,

RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings
Thanks SP and Richard, Well, I tested it and it works fine with sessions, without serializing it. The only problem with sending it through GET url strings is that you can only send about 255 characters of data through to the next page. I was just looking to see how others pass their array values through their URLs. So far sessions is a winner, but maybe there's another way. Like what Richard suggested. But that method seems too time consuming and will be confusing later on since it uses enumerated arrays. Just need some suggestions and hints. :) -Original Message- From: SP [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2002 1:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings Hi Navid Don't you have to serialize it to put it in sessions? -Original Message- From: Navid Y.

Re: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings
Well what I normally do to pass very large arrays through strings.. when NOT using sessions, I use serialize, but it sounds like you didn¹t want to serialize.. If you give me an idea of what you are doing I might be able to figure out the best way to pass those variables :) And no you don't need to serialize the data when using sessions. Sessions themselves are serialized automatically, you don¹t need to worry about that.

RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings
Okay let me clarify, if I had an array like this I
would just use sessions this way:
$myarray = array( array('1', '2'),
array('3', '4') );
$_SESSION['myarray'] = serialize($myarray);
Then you can use the array on any page the user
goes to by doing this:
$myarray = unserialize($_SESSION['myarray']);

RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings
Well Rick, Let's say I had a form with a text box and an textarea box. The text box won't contain that many strings, but the textarea box can contain thousands of characters, if the user wished to write that much. Both of the fields will be contained in a single array. If I send this array through a GET string, it will only pass 255 characters through to the next page, and the rest of the content will be cut out of the picture as if it never existed. Then, I thought maybe sessions would do the trick, and it does a great job so far. So now I'm stuck with the idea that using sessions to pass arrays, in the particular situation, would be the best thing to do. But, out of curiousity, I wanted to know how other people sent their arrays back and forth from one page to another. That's all :) Thanks for your patience, I really appreciate it. -Original Message- From: Richard Baskett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2002 2:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; PHP General Subject: Re: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings Well what I normally do to pass very large arrays through strings.. when NOT using sessions, I use serialize, but it sounds like you didn¹t want to serialize..

Re: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings
Hey no problem.. That's what this list is for.. Asking questions and answering them :) I just use sessions to pass a lot of variables to a lot of pages.. Or some variables to a lot of pages..

Re: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings
Well you can serialize an array using the serialize function then pass it through the url then unserialize it on the next page using the unserialize function. If you check out http://www.php.net/serialize it will give you some examples. It is quite similar to sessions in that sessions also serialize the data, but there are subtle differences. You will need to use a couple other functions with serialize when passing through the URL, but that is documented on the page I just gave you :) If you have any other questions concerning it please do not hesitate to ask me :) Rick Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy. - Napolean Hill From: SP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 18 May 2002 16:35:00 -0400 To: Richard Baskett [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], PHP General [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings Rick, what exactly do you mean by using serialization without sessions? how do you do that? -Original Message- From: Richard Baskett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: May 18, 2002 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; PHP General Subject: Re: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings Hey no problem..

Hi all. I'm trying to pass an array to another page, and I'm not having

You can pass an array between pages by using the serialize() and
unserialize() functions in conjunction with rawurlencode().
Serializing a variable is kind of like freezing food.
You freeze food so that you can store it for later use. Serializing
does roughly the same thing for a variable, converting a 'fresh'
variable into a string that you can store and then 'thaw' for later
use.
The basic steps to use serialize to transfer data between pages are:
0.) Page foo.php has an array that it wants to pass to bar.php
$array = array ('doe', 'diddy', 'dee', 'dum');
1.) Serialize the array
$serialized_array = serialize ($array);
2.) Make the serialized data safe for transport via http by passing it
to rawurlencode()
$serialized_array = rawurlencode ($serialized_array);
3.) Pass the serialized array to another page via GET. (You could also
use a form and POST)
echo The serialized array looks like this: $serialized_arraybr;
a href=bar.php?array=?php echo $serialized_array ?Send/a
4.) Unserialize the array at page bar.php
(You may need to call stripslashes() on the passed data - review
the magic_quotes directives in your php.ini file for more
information)
$array = unserialize (stripslashes ($array));
5.) Voilà! Garnish with a 'Powered by PHP Logo' and it is ready to
serve. ;)
Good Luck!

RE: [PHP] Passing Arrays
Hi Jordan,
Using sessions in PHP4, like this:
session_start();
$n = -1;
//Read an index from an Oracle table
while (OCIFetch($rs)) {
$n = $n + 1;
$ix[$n] = OCIResult($rs,1);
}
session_register("n");
session_register("ix");
In the next page you have a session_start() again, and can refer to $ix[0],
$ix[1],.. $ix[$n] etc.

Hi,
How can I pass an array between two pages. I've tried using serialize and
unserialize. But it doen't return an array. When I use gettype() on it, it
say's that the typ-e is boolean?
Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Passing arrays as arguments to a method
Ive seen posts like this before ( 'how do I pass arrays as arguments to
functions?' ) this is quite simple, nothing at all has to be done.
?php
class test
{
function test($array)
{
foreach($array as $pos = $val)
echo "$pos : $val br\n";
}
}
$arr[] = 'chris ';
$arr[] = 'lee ';
$arr[] = 'works for ';
$arr[] = 'mediawaveonline.com ';
$test = new test($arr);
?
there's nothing to it.
