How do I pass Array from one view to another using POST?

It's kind of funny how the things you think will be hard (like getting the Zend search function going) turn out to be easy, and something easy like passing a variable turn out to be a nightmare. :-S

I think I'll stay away from any complicated use of POST in the future. Didn't even work with serialization.

I finally decided to serialize the search string then put it in a CI session variable. Seems to work.

To put it in:

Code:

$data_search = array(
        'search_string' => serialize($this->input->post('search_query') )
    );
$this->session->set_userdata($data_search);

To retrieve it:

Code:

<?php
echo unserialize( $this->session->userdata('search_string'));
?>

Codeigniter is Great, but PHP is a bit too magical for me :lol:
