Thread: Arrays and PHP 4.2

Hi,

I have an old site that I upgrade to PHP 4.2, with the new way of tranfering
variables to the next page. It all almost works them i replace $id with
$_GET[id]. But on one page I use an array (new[]), and that worked ok, like:

In a for-loop
print "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"new[$col_count]\" value=\"" .
$data->$temp . "\" size=\"64\" maxlength=\"" . $name->kolonne_bredde . "\"
/></td>";

then I send the array new[] to the next page, and access the data like:

In a for-loop
$temp = $temp . ", {$names[$n]} = '" . $new[$n] . "'";

wich is building a string to a Postgres query, then it worked on PHP 4.1. I
have changed the line to:

$temp = $temp . ", {$names[$n]} = '" . $_GET[new[$n]] . "'";

wich is not working. What am I doing wrong, it is only a problem on the
array, single variables works.

Hi Kelvin

You should serialize the Array then you can send it as string.
See the php-documentation for

serialize()
unserialize()

Shouldn't that be:

$temp = $temp . ", {$names[$n]} = '" . $_GET[new][$n] . "'";

The array is still there, it's just that it is now a sub-dimension of
another array.
