Php Form and Array

[Nico]

Dear all,

I created the following php form.

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="prova.php">
<b>Combination</b><br><br>
Element 1: <INPUT NAME="el1" TYPE="TEXT">
<BR>
Element 2: <INPUT NAME="el2" TYPE="TEXT">
<br>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE"Submit">
</FORM>
<br>
Combination<br><br>

<?php
$combination[] = ($_REQUEST["el1"].$_REQUEST["el2"]);
print_r($combination);
$combinations[] = $combination;
print_r($combinations);
?>

When I fill the two text fields of the form in the browser, the inserted
text is included in the array $combination and then $combination is
included in the array $combinations.
When I reload the page, I fill again the two text fields and the new
inserted text overwrites the old inserted text. This is a problem.
I'd like that the array "combinations" includes both the old inserted
text and the new inserted text, but I don't know how to do this.
Can you help me please?
Many thanks.

Best,
Nico

Hi Nico

Sounds like you are trying ot make the data persist between page
refreshes. The best way to handle this is to use 'sessions' and make
$combinations into a session variable like $_SESSION['combinations'][]
Just start your PHP code with session_start(); and then manipulate
your array :o)
