Flatten a multidimensional array without recursion

This is the meal planner app I'm still working on. I've gotten a lot of useful help so far. You can see the view source at http://maureenmoore.com/momp_tests/122212.html


I am using the following in my process.php (which the jquery form gets submitted to)

$stack = array();


foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value) {
			array_push($stack,$value);
          }
$stack = array_values($stack);


print_r($stack);


$comma_separated = implode(",", $stack);




echo "\n\n" . $comma_separated . "\n\n";

Code (markup):

When I click the submit button at localhost it shows an error for array to string conversion because it's a multidimensional array. How can I get rid of the first null key without resorting to a recursive function? I don't see the error any more now that I've uploaded it to my hosting account but it's not printing a comma-separated list because it's a multidimensional array with a key of null.

 

What does the print_r of $_REQUEST look like?

I think, though I'm not sure at all, that you might need to select the first element in the $_REQUEST array to get the results you want.

So instead of foreach ($_REQUEST....

you'd use foreach ($_REQUEST[0]...

That's my guess at this point. Hope it helps.

 

When I do that I get the error "undefined offset 0"

 

Thanks anyway Deluxious

 

Can you post the print_r of $_REQUEST?

 

It's easier to just go to http://maureenmoore.com/momp_tests/122212.html, click on the submit button and see the result of the print_r.

 

If I'm understanding correctly, based on your code the print_r output is showing the $stack variable - it would be easier if we could see the original array that's being passed into your loop. Let me know if I'm missing something.

 

Using $_REQUEST['data'] as suggested by jeroen at stack overflow solved the problem.
