I am trying to send PHP array by html form by POST. The code which I am using is below:

<?php
    $content = array('111', '222' );
?>

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>PAGE TITLE</title>
    </head>
        <body>
            <form name="downloadexcel" action="downloadexcel.php" method="post">
                <input type="text" name="data" value="<?php echo $content; ?>"/>
                <a href="javascript: submitform()">Download</a>
            </form>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                function submitform()
                {
                  document.downloadexcel.submit();
                }
            </script>
        </body>
    </html>

How can I send an PHP array by html form?

Any web link or source code would be appreciated.

    You can’t send array like this. It will return Array. You can do it this way

    <form name="downloadexcel" action="downloadexcel.php" method="post">

<?php foreach ($content as $item): ?>
    <input type="text" name="data[]" value="<?php echo $item; ?>"/>
<?php endforeach ?>

<a href="javascript: submitform()">Download</a>
</form>

    This variant is the most elegant to use in templates or anywhere in the code. HTML will be easily validated by IDE and code assist will be also available.
