Transfert an array variable to another page without using a form

[storm197]

Hi,

In a page, i'm using an array variable with multiple values.

Is there a way to transfert the entire variable values to another page without using a Form tag?

Can I put arrays in a session variable ?

Thank you.

You can put anything you want into a session variable.

You can also serialize the array and put it on the URL (if it isn't too big).

Or you can serialize the array and store it in a file (which is what sessions do for you) or store it in a MySQL database table.

Session are the way to go for what you want to do.

Ok, don't want to be too much dummie, but can you just show me a very short example on how you put arrays in session variables ?

In your first program:

<?
session_start();
$arr1 = array{'one','two','three');
$_SESSION['arr1'] = $arr1;
?>

In your second program:

<?
session_start();
$arr1 = $_SESSION['arr1'];
?>
