One way:
$serArray = serialize($array);
<input type=hidden name=serArray value="<?php echo $serArray ?>">
At other end:
$array = unserialize($_POST['serArray']);
======================================
OR
session_start();
.
.
.
$_SESSION['array'] = serialize($array);
At other end:
$array = unserialize($_SESSION['array']);
If you change or repopulate the array, use the same session name, or, to be
safe,
$_SESSION['array'] = null;
before repopulating the session.
Make sure session_start() is on every page that needs access to the session
variable, including the popup.

I have this code that doesnt print the db results like they should... it
uses pear::db package for the database. Was wondering if anybody can figure
out how come it doesnt work...
<?php

error_reporting('E_ALL');
$db =& DB::connect('mysql://root:3987957localhost/eternityrecords');
if (PEAR::isError($db)) {

$results->query('select * from eternityrecords.journal'); if
(PEAR::isError($results)) { die($db->getMessage()); } //test the results
out..
?>

<?php
while($results->fetchInto($journal, DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC)){ ?> <tr> <td><?php

Should this not be:

Good catch:
So I normally do
$results =& $db->query ( "SELECT * FROM table" );
What is the difference between using the & and not using the &.

Well after looking at this for a while I agree that makes the most
sense. It's a little unnerving to let scripts find their way into the
database but with in combination with strong validation that can be
minimized and in many cases eliminated.

mime types are very unreliable and should never be used for file type
authentication (they can also be faked by users). Instead you could try
using the extension of the file or an identifying statement in the file.

Using the POST method and a URL like:
http://server.com/foo.php?name=value
I get:
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] // empty string
$_GET['name'] // not defined
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] // no ?name=value
$_REQUEST['QUERY_STRING'] // empty string
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Yeah, $_GET. I know it seems a bit confusing, since the request method
is POST, not GET, but it's a reference to how data is passed when the
GET method is indicated in a form's method attribute.
Hope that helps.

Not sure if this script will help, but you can point your form to it
and get back some useful info:
<?php
if (count($_REQUEST) > 0) {
echo 'Post '.count($_REQUEST)."Variables<br />\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_REQUEST)) {
$$key = $val;
if(is_array($$key)) {
for($a=0;$a<count($$key);$a++) echo $key."[".$a."] =
\"".$val[$a]."\"<br />\n";
} else { print "$key = \"$val\"<br />\n"; }
}
}
?>
attached mail follows:
Solved. My mistake. I was visiting the form with a URL that had
QUERY_STRING parameters but when I submit the form the QUERY_STRING is
not propagated.
In my particular case I replaced the form tag with the following PHP:
<?php
echo "<form action=\"" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . "\" method=\"post\">";
?>
Also, regarding my original question, I think parse_str is what I want.
Thanks,

I have written a PHP script that creates dynamic links to CAD files on a
local machine. The anchors/links work on two W2K pro machines, but does
nothing on a XP pro machine where I really need the script to reside. I
am stumped if it is an Apache setting, IE setting, or what. I'm getting
desperate to get this going and get on with life (real work).
On the w2k machines while the pointer is over the link, the browser
status bar shows "file:///actual_path_to_file". On the XP machine the
status bar shows "Shortcut to file:///absolute_path_to_file(local)".
I have never got the links to work with Firefox (preferred browser) on
the w2k machines, but I'm sure it security issues. Probably the thing
with the XP machine.

Hello all,
I have been trying to get the Content-Encoding header from Curl, but
have yet to manage.
Using curl from command line I have no problems simply using:
curl --compress page_to_get -o local_page_copy -D dumpheader.txt
The data gets compressed and uncompressed also in PHP, I am just looking
for a way to capture whether the compression was used or not, and in
case it was used, what Content-Encoding was used.
I would be happy for a tip to simply get the full response header too ;)
In advance thanks!

Well there is a rather global solution, but will require some work.
You would have to create a wrapper for all mysql* calls to use
mysqli, so for example:
<?php
if( !function_exists('mysql_connect') &&
function_exists('mysqli_real_connect') ) {
function mysql_connect($server, $username, $password) {
gobal $_mysql_mysqli_dbh_;
$_mysql_mysqli_dbh_ = mysqli_init();
return mysqli_real_connect($_mysql_mysqli_dbh_, $server, $username, $password);
}
function mysql_real_escape_string($string, $dbhúlse) {
if($dbh == $false) {
gobal $_mysql_mysqli_dbh_;
$dbh = $_mysql_mysqli_dbh_;
}
return mysqli_real_escape_string($dbh, $string);
}
// any other interface needed.
}
?>
I've been meaning to write something like this for the
Pear::PHP_Compat tool, it could help upgrading all your scripts to
mysqli interface, not to mention upgrading to php5.1
