Question

This is my php code:

$allids_arr = $_REQUEST['allids'];
print_r($allids_arr);
echo $arr_count = count($allids_arr);

The array printed like this:

Array (
     [0] => 26 
     [1] => 27 
     [2] => 28 
     [3] => 29 
     [4] => 30 
     [5] => 31 
     [6] => 32 
     [7] => 33 
)

But the count display as 1.

But the correct answer is 8.

What is the problem in my code?

EDIT:

The array was i created:
This is the code for my array creation:

$allids = array();
        $ikall = 0;
        foreach($alldata as $rwosall){
            $allids[$ikall] = $rwosall['journelmodel']['id'];
            $ikall++;
        }   
        $this->set('alldataids', $allids);

This is in my controller.And in my view page:

<input type="hidden" readonly="" id="allids" class="input1" name="allids" value="<?php print_r($alldataids);?>">

This value was i requested when form submitted.

First of all there are few mistakes in your code.

1. You assign array in hidden field using print_r function which is not an array.
2. When you submit the value and get the value using $_REQUEST which is treated as a string.It looks like array that is why count is returning 1.

Solution :
1. You can assign value as comma separated
like “x,y,z”
