Passing arrays through pages

daryllsheridan

Hi

I have created an array in one page, problem is i want to display it on another page. how do you go about transfering arrays from one page to another?

Have had various attempts at it but havent got close in any of them

The array is

$arrErrors = array();

In PHP?

Well if its anything like java (I have no idea..), just add it to the session. Pseudo code would be

init array
init session object
add array to session object as variable/attribute

move to other page

get object from session

Maybe someone from a PHP background could explain it better. You could also take the chance passing it in a query string if its just a character array, but you'll have to encode/decode it on both sides.

Best of luck

One question I would have here is how is the array being generated exactly? Is it the result of a database query, or simply something you're constructing? It could make a difference to the solution depending on the answer to this

If its PHP, you can serialize the array, pass it through in the URL, and re-create the array at the other side getting the serialized URL paramater
