send array with method post 3

moroeh · Dec 30, 2002

Hi:

I guess somebody already answered this, but I am not able to find any answer. Does anybody know how to send an array in VBScript with the post method?

I have been trying to send it with

<input name="MyArray" type="hidden" value="<%=MyArray%>">
<input name="x" type="submit" value="Next" />

When I send this and I try to use it in the page I am calling to I get a Type Mismatch error. How could I solve it?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Remeber the when you say:
<input name="MyArray" type="hidden" value="<%=MyArray%>">

You are saying
response.write myArray
Which is never a valid statement.

Try storing the array in a session variable.

Here's how...

how about loop through the array and write each element to a hidden field.

might be a bit long winded though ---------------------------------------
{ str = "sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function";
ptr = /sleep/gi;Nstr = str.replace(ptr,"coffee&quot

;alert(Nstr); }

onpnt - It's not quite as elegant, but your method could free up some server memory....

<%
for x = 0 to uBound(myArray)
arrStr = "##" & myArray(x)
next
arrStr = mid(arrStr,3) 'trim off first delimiter
%>

<input name="MyArray" type="hidden" value="<%=arrStr%>">

on next page..

<%
arrStr = split(request("myArray&quot

,"##&quot

%>

OOPPSS!!
<%
arrStr = ""
for x = 0 to uBound(myArray)
arrStr = arrStr & "##" & myArray(x)
next
arrStr = mid(arrStr,3) 'trim off first delimiter
%>

<input name="MyArray" type="hidden" value="<%=arrStr%>">

on next page..

<%
arrStr = split(request("myArray&quot

,"##&quot

%>

How about using the join method?

Code:

<%
Dim arrString
arrString = Join(myArray,&quot;##&quot;)
%>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;hdnArray&quot; value=&quot;<%=arrString%>&quot;>

Then on the next page just use the split method to break it back into an array:

Code:

Dim myArray
myArray = Split(Request.Form(&quot;hdnArray&quot;),&quot;##&quot;)

You can specify any delimiter you would like in the Join and it will basically loop through the array for you, concatenating each element to the next with the chosen delimiter

Hop this helps,

-Tarwn

DonÂ´t worry people.

But still have a problem (sorry about this ) I know your ego is gonna get hurt (or mine, if the problem results to be that I have no idea of making ASP's).

When I try to use the functions you say (join and split) I get the next error (I will try to translate because is not in english):

Response error 'ASP 0106 : 80020005'
Type Mismatch

I guess is because I have to redim the array (or the function itself is supposed to do it?) HELP, please!

onpnt · Dec 30, 2002

what is going into the array and how are you populating it?

are you trying to write the array to the screen seeing as this is a response error? ---------------------------------------
{ str = "sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function";
ptr = /sleep/gi;Nstr = str.replace(ptr,"coffee&quot

;alert(Nstr); }

Actually, the array is supposed to be populated with dates. And I think I was trying to write it in the screen....

It works (I just made another trying)!!!

Thanks to all!

By the way, is there any webpage to know all this functions in VBscript (kind of glossary of functions)?

Thanks again!
