persistant multi-dimensional arrays

[mitsiguri]

Hi All,

I understand that its not possible to store multi-dimensional arrays in the application/session/cookies object.

Can someone suggest a similar method/workaround for this problem?

cheers

Well, it isn't exactly the prettiest way to do it, but why not write two little functions that take the number of dimensions and the array as arguments and then join them into comma-delimited strings? One function would perform a series of joins one would perform a series of splits. Now that I think about it, you wouldn't be able to make it dynamic (sorry, to much .Net lately), but as long as you know the number of dimensions will always be x (3, 4, whatever) just write a set of for loops to join everything together one dimension at a time with differant delimiters for each dimension, then split it apart in reverse of how you joined it. It's messy but it should work.
