cycle through various POST array variables and types

[AmericanWoman]

The form generates a script tag, e.g.:

PHP Code:

<script language="javascript" src="blah.php?forumid=[x,x,x,x]&font=Verdana&border=0"></script> 


The script file needs to be able to parse through the forumid array and build the "where" clause of the sql statement accordingly.

I've got all the colors, etc., working, but the forumid part is the most important...and right now, it's just saying "forumid=Array".

I'm trying to figure out why.

i think thats because both php and javascript take "[" "]" and treat it like its an array... try and remove them from the code

It wasn't in the code, originally, and it still output the same thing, but hang on, I'll try it again for kicks.

Dangit. I really wish there were a way to just beam code down to Earth.

this is the code i get in my test....

test.php?&forumid=[10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,]

we have to be doing somethign different...

[edit] nice job

Figured it out!

I don't know WHY, but for whatever reason, in the second loop (testing whether the POST var is an array, then writing the output), I have to refer to the POST var as $POST_VARS[$key] instead of just $key.

Woot!

im glad that you figured it out

good luck with the script

Thanks! If I get it working really well, I'll put it in the beta release forum on Monday.

I appreciate all your help.

Interesting... You use PHP3's method of looping through an array

I used the loop structure I was given. It's been a very long while since I was a web developer for a living, and I'm terribly rusty but determined to muddle through!

What syntax would you have used?
