Hi Scott (and others), Thanks for all the posts and help ! It actually did make some sense in the end :).
The success message was based on AJAX success function, so that was part of the confusion. It was giving me a success message but not actually doing anything. Changing 'serial.hash' to be 'serial' also helped - still not 100% clear what the hash is for. And the other problem was in the PHP. I assumed that 'serial' was being posted with the #id as the key, however it doesnt. It simply gets posted without a key. Instead of doing $myarray = $_POST['my_sorted_id_block']; , it needs to be $myarray = $_POST; , and then I cycle through the array with a foreach(). I've now incorporated this into Zend Framework and works a treat. Ta for all the help, Chris. :) On Apr 11, 9:57 pm, Scott Sauyet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Chris Jones wrote: > > The hash was a suggestion on another site.
