Dealing with $_POST arrays.

[eluser]billmce[/eluser]
So to flesh that out a bit, what I've got to do is:

- remove the

Code:

foreach ($dataphones->result_array() as $keyname => $phone)

from the VIEW.
- In the controller, prior to loading the view, I create a similar foreach loop to the above -- using it to create my own array.

That takes the result_array() off the form where it gets in the way on re-edits after validation.

I know that after the submit button I can use syntax of $_POST[‘array_name’][0]. In other words I can retrieve all the values in the array after submit. I can also reconstruct the array to be picked up on subsequent iterations of the view.

How/where are serialize and urlencode introduced?

I want to do it right but I don't understand why I need serialize/unserialize and urlencode/urldecode, or where I'd use them (in the controller?, the view?, both?).

Complete newbie question huh?
