Hi all,
I have few php pages. One is a dynamic form, one is an file holding some arrays, one is a script that is the action for the form and the other two are to update the array. What I am trying to do is append an array using array_push to add files to the array. Howver it only seems to work local to the page you are on. I am using the array as an include at the moment, however I am assuming sessions are the way round it, but I dont really get it.
Ideally what I want to do is update the array so it can be used over many pages at one time.
Here are the forms
optionsArray.php
$model= array(1=>"Compact",2=>"Saloon",3=>"SUV" );
$color= array(1=>"Deep Sea Blue", 2 =>"Space Grey", 3=>"Titanium Silver");
$engine= array( 1=>"1600", 2=> "2000", 3=>"3000");
$extras= array
(1=> "6 disc DVD changer",
2=>"TV function",
3=>"DAB digital radio",
4=>"Loudspeaker system - professional",
5=>"Multimedia navigation system",
6=>"Universal remote control",
7=>"Voice control",
8=>"Navigation system",
9=>"Head-up display",
10=>"Adaptive headlights",
11=>"Night vision with pedestrian recognition",
12=>"Run-flat tyres");
$num= array(1=>'one',2=>'two',3=>'three');the form
<?php include('optionsArray.php');?>
