Question

Each time I press addproduct button my array is emptied. I assume that is because of the $productarray = array(); declaration, but I want to keep what I’ve added into it each time. So, if I press addproduct twice, I want first entry to stay intact. I will have another button that redirects the user to next page but before that clears the array;

$productarray = array();
if(isset($_POST['addproduct'])){
  $prod = trim(mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['prodcall']))));
  array_push($productarray,$prod);
}
print_r($productarray);

Looking for a way that hopefully does not need to use SQLDB or SESSION.

Answer 1

Once the execution of script completes, all variables declared are destructed by itself. As an alternate to this you can take advantage of Session variable $_SESSION or a Temporary table in database. JavaScript can also help if you change it to a button rather than a submit button.
