Question

I’ve got a hidden field on my form and I would like to collate and post dates associated to prices in an array so I can use them on another page. At present, I have the following input field defined below.

<input name="arrayDatesPrices[]" type="hidden" 
value="<?php echo PrintDateTime($recordsCourseWeeks->getField('Start_date'),"d/m/Y"); ?>"> 

and when I do a print_r(arrayDatesPrices) on the following page, it lists all the dates in the array. This works exactly as expected. I have another field called $Price_per_week, and I would like to associate the price to the date. I therefore tried the following.

<input name="arrayDatesPrices[]" type="hidden" 
value="<?php echo array(PrintDateTime    ($recordsCourseWeeks->getField('Start_date'),"d/m/Y"), array( $Price_per_week) ); ?>"> 

When I do a print_r(arrayDatesPrices) on the follwoing pages – I get a blank array. Have I got my formatting incorrect or can you do multi dimension arrays input fields?

Answer 1

Try like this..

<input name="arrayDatesPrices[]" type="hidden" 
value="<?php echo PrintDateTime($recordsCourseWeeks->getField('Start_date'),
"d/m/Y").':'.$Price_per_week ; ?>"> 

After submit...
$i = 0;
foreach( $arrayDatesPrices as $arr )
{
 list($stat,$wk) = explode(':',$arr);
 $new_arr[$i]['start_date'] = $stat;
 $new_arr[$i++]['wek'] = $wk;
}
