Question

I am trying to post an array in a hidden field and want to retrieve that array after submitting a form in PHP.

$postvalue = array("a", "b", "c");
<input type="hidden" name="result" value="<?php echo $postvalue; ?>">

But I am getting only an array string after printing the posted value. So how can I solve it?

Answer 1

Use:

$postvalue = array("a", "b", "c");
foreach($postvalue as $value)
{
    echo '<input type="hidden" name="result[]" value="'. $value. '">';
}

And you will get $_POST['result'] as an array.

print_r($_POST['result']);
