How to pass an array to a controller? - El Forum - 10-21-2009 [eluser]gminuses[/eluser] I'd like to pass an array as a parameter to my controller, the parameters number is unknown, but the last one is the array I want to pass in. So how do I write the url? I'm looking for something like: http://localhost/mycontroller/myaction/param1/param2/.../arrVal1+arrVal2+arrVal3 that codeigniter will convert the last parameter into an array. Is it possible?

For me this would be the most logical sollution. A front end fo an application can also have sessions Other suggestions would be passing the array by form submission, or storing it into a database, but every user would then need some kind of a token, so that's actually a session You can also write the data into a txt file, but I don't think that's a good idea, because of security issues. My suggestions is, use session. If possible with a database, because in this way you can store much more data into a session. If you use a cookie the data size is limited.

If the values in the array is generated by javascript(client side), how do I pass these values to a controller as the last parameter, along with other values as the rest of paramters?
