I want to pass my php array in my form input type as hidden.i have tried many times but it is giving me an array (key=>value,key=>value) in my input form.
This is my php code have a array.
$my_arr = array();
$my_arr['key']="value";
This is my html code
<form method="post" action="next.php">
<input type="hidden" name="my_form_data" value="<?php print_r($my_arr) ?>">
<button name="submit_btn">Submit</button>
</form>
Any one please help me to pass php array in my input hidden element and how to get it in next page.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you can try this:
<form method="post" action="next.php">
<input type="hidden" name="my_form_data" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(serialize($my_arr)) ?>">
<button name="submit_btn">Submit</button>
</form>
Then in next.php you unserialize to get the PHP data structure back:
<?php
$my_arr = unserialize($_POST["my_form_data"]);
Use my_form_data[] in name
<form method="post" action="next.php">
<input type="hidden" name="my_form_data" value="<?php echo htmlentities(serialize($my_arr));?>">
</form>
The easiest way is to make json as string by json_encode and then decode at the time of retrieve by json_decode,
<form method="post" action="next.php">
<input type="hidden" name="my_form_data" value="<?php echo json_encode($my_arr); ?>">
<button name="submit_btn">Submit</button>
</form>
$hiddenvariable=array("apple","banana","cat");
foreach($hiddenvariable as $value)
{
echo '<input type="hidden" name="my_form_data[]" value="'. $value. '">';
}
Making an array first then extracting an each elements using foreach and passing those values into hidden value.
