Hi.

 

Syntax error give you reason for code not working.

[felito]

syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')'

Please read: http://php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php

I don't understand the point of you using an array as a function variable either. Post the rest of your code.

[felito]

obviously that know that i can do

 

$var1 = $form_data_array["ensino"];
function livre($var1) {

}

 

 

i serialize an array and now i need to get the values, basically i want to reduce some lines of code, because i have much variables from serialize.

 

so, the correct syntax is:

 

function livre($form_data_array) {
$form_data_array["ensino"];

}

 

 

correct?

Once again, you need to post the rest of your code.

Are you trying to define the function, or call it? If you're defining it, just use a standard variable name for the argument. Use the array element when you call the function.

 

$array = range( 1, 25 );

function check_array($input) {
     if( is_array($input) ) {
          return "Array";
     } else {
          return "Not array";
     }
}

echo check_array( $array );
echo '<br>';
echo check_array( $array[5] );

[felito]

$form_data_array = array();
$form_data_array = $_POST['myformdata']; 
echo $form_data_array["age"]; //display age correctly 

function check($form_data_array) { 
if (empty($form_data_array["age"])){
echo ("empty");
}
else 
echo ("not empty");

}

 

I need to check if the $form_data_array["age"]; is empty or no

[teynon]

This code is different than what you originally posted. However, you should put the function above that code and then you need to actually call the function. IE check($varable);

oh god. sorry, shame 

 

solved
