Passing Array in QueryString

[Bobba Buoy]

Is this possible? I have a 2-dimensional dynamic array that I want to pass to a page. If so, what is the syntax?

Thanks!

in what language...?

Oops-in ASP. Actually I thought that a QueryString was just an ASP thing-shows what I know but that is all I work in server side.

I believe this belongs to Server Side Programming, I'll move it... to answer the question, I would maybe specify all array values using coordinates, let's say I have a 2x2 two dimensional array with

[0][0] = "banana"
[0][1] = "apple"
[1][0] = "orange"
[1][1] = "kiwi"

I would pass it with a query string looking like this:
filename.asp?0.0=banana&0.1=apple&1.0=orange&1.1=kiwi

Dang! that's a lot of work to pass an array :D

me, personally, would send it as an array string deilimitted by commas or whatever your preference is then slice it on the other side - to do a multi-dimensional you'd have to use two different delimitters.

Not sure the specific use you're going for but is a Session variable another possibility?

Actually what I ended up doing was passing 5 querystrings based on the array values. Can you folks comment on what you think about that from a programming guidelines standpoint or processing or whatever?

well, it'd help if I knew exactly what and why you were passing through the querystring.
