Formdata submition

[madsen]

Hi!

How do I (re)submit formdata from at multiple select statement?
When pressing "submit" the first time I get the data as an array in PHP, but how do I resubmit it in another form?
(like you can resubmit data with a "hidden" field, but how does it work when there is multiple data?)

Thanks in advance.

madsen,

Simply create several hidden form fields with the array as their NAME's. The following form, for example, will pass an array variable named $multi containing two values, "test1" and "test2":

<FORM ACTION=... METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="multi[]" VALUE="test1">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="multi[]" VALUE="test2">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="submit">
</FORM>

To create such a form in PHP:

<FORM ACTION=... METHOD=POST>
<?
for ($i=0;$i<count($multi);$i++) {
echo("<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=\"multi[]\" VALUE=\"".addslashes($multi[$i])."\">");
}
?>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="submit">
</FORM>

Easy, huh?
