GET array variables

[BiggerBrother]

I am posting to a form using the GET method.

The problem is that I need to be able to distinguish between item[101]=2 and item=2. Is there a way distinguish where the variable is an array element, or using pairs, is there a way to to reutn true if pairs exist, or false if they are missing?

Many thanks for any advice

I don't understand. Where are item[101] and item coming from?

I am posting these variables to the form.

www.mysite.com/myform.php?item[101]=1
or

http://www.mysite.com/myform.php?item=1

Is there anyway to distinguish between the two values of $_GET['item']??

Many thanks

More exactly, you're posting these values to a script. A form is an HTML construct that allows a user to input and manipulate the values that will eventually be submitted to a form.


I'm sorry, but I still don't understand what you're asking. You cannot have an HTML form with an element named "item" and an element named "item[101]" both in it. You will not be able to access the value from "item".

However, you can have multiple elements named "item[]" or elements named of the form "item[1]", "item[2]", etc. In such cases, $_GET['item'] will itself be an array, accessible as $_GET['item'][0], $_GET['item'][1], etc.
