sending arrays through URL

[teriyaki]

Hi, I'm trying to pass variables from one php script to another through the URL (e.g. default.php3?myvar=4).<br><br>Can I pass arrays?&nbsp;&nbsp;If so, how?&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't write something like this in my php script:<br><br>print &quot;$default.php3?myarray=$myarray&quot;;

Dear Teriyaki,<br><br>I am uncertain how you would pass an array through a URL. However, you could looking at the PHP manual at &quot;<A HREF="

Well, you have two options.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can use the implode() function to convert the array to a string (for instance, to make a comma delimited string of an array, you can do implode(',',$array).&nbsp;&nbsp;Then explode() the string once you've got it in your new page.<br><br>If the array is multidimensional, however, I would recommend using the serialize() function.&nbsp;&nbsp;serialize() creates a string representation of a PHP value, whether it be an integer, an array or an object.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the variable $data is your array, or whathaveyou, you can use:<br>$newpage = &quot;default.php?mydata=&quot; . urlencode(serialize($data));<br>And when you import it in default.php, you can just do:<br>$anArray = unserialize($mydata);<br><br>Good luck,<br>sophie.
