array inside a $_GET

#1 (**permalink**) 12-10-2003

Hi to all,
I'm starting to learn PHP.
I'm not able to find a way to write an array inside a $_GET or $_POST.
I've tried:
$_GET['Child[]'];
{$_GET['Child[]']};
$_GET["Child[]"];
$_GET['Child'];
....
nothing works.
What is the correct syntax?
Thank you!

Want to read an array from inside $_GET['Child'] ?
If that holds an array, you can use it as: $_GET['Child'][$index] (where
$index is a valid index).

Try to var_dump($_GET['Child']);

He don´t want to read a array he want to write an array into the $_GET var,
but makes no sin to me...

First, thanks to all for your help.
It is an exercise from an old book.
There is a form (which ACTION is GET) with an array of text fields:
<INPUT NAME=Child[] TYPE=TEXT>
After submitting it, in the following php file the author refers to the
variable array as $Child, but I know that now we have to write
$_GET['variableName'].

I've tried lallous' hint
$_GET['Child'][$Count]
and the error is:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting
T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in
c:\phpdev5\private\esercizi\dynamic2.php on line 9

Here's the code:
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
$Count=0;
echo "Your children's names are:";
do
{
echo"<BR><BR>$_GET['Child'][$Count]"; <--line 9: How I must write it?
$CheckEmpty = "$_GET['Child'][$Count]";
$Count=$Count+1;
} while ($CheckEmpty!="");
if ($Count==1) echo "Not Applicable";
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

You dont have to go that far, only $child = $_GET['child'];
$child will be an array because he take an array... :D

<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
if ($_GET['child']) {
$child = $_GET['child'];

echo "Your children's names are:";
for ($i=0;$i<count($child);$i++) {
echo"<BR>$child[$i]";
}
}
?>
<form action="test.php" method="get">
<INPUT NAME=child[] TYPE=TEXT>
<INPUT NAME=child[] TYPE=TEXT>
<INPUT NAME=child[] TYPE=TEXT>
<input type=submit>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Hello MLC,

> $CheckEmpty = "$_GET['Child'][$Count]";
You cannot do that inside the string.
You have to use an intermediate variable or use '{$var}'

Anyway, re-write as:
$count = count($_GET['Child']);
for ($i=0;$i<$count;$i++)
{
$child = $_GET['Child'][$i];
echo "<BR><BR>$child";
}
