that's why I asked about PHP version ... latest have magic_quotes and 
register_globals off by default and I strongly suggest to configure whatever 
server like that because  there shouldn't be anything "magic" when we talk 
about security or programming.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for your responses.

The output  from echo '', var_dump($_POST['Colors']), '';

is -->  string(5) "Array"

I am using php version 5.2.10.

It is strange that you posted the same array and ran the implode function ok
?  That has me baffled.  I am several forms within the application,  but
this is the first array.

Thanks.

so it's simple, it's not an array, but your assignment magically makes it an 
array since you wrote "iterate over the array" ... very, very clear, isn't it?

Its Simple...

Its very obvious that $_POST["color"] is not an array.

do something like this and you wil get the values.

$arr_color = $_POST["colors"];

//iterate over the array
foreach($arr_color as $val)
{
$str_color .= ", "  . $val;
}

You are done.

[PHP] Correct handling _POST[] and implode. PHP5

2009-10-08 Thread bearsfoot 

Hi all,

I have a form that has has an array of information.  Mulitple checkboxes can
be selected.

Choose the colors:

Green
 Yellow
 Red
 Gray

When processing the form..

echo $_POST['Colors'] . ''; // outputs 'Array'

if ( isset($_POST['Colors']) ) { 
 $_POST['Colors'] = implode(', ', $_POST['Colors']); //Converts an array
into a single string
}
   
   echo "Colors you chose: {$_POST['Colors']}";

I get the following error when using the implode function.

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Bad arguments

What I doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance.
