after submited form i want to check array if array is empty alert error for user. but i get error when submited form:
PHP
$errors = array_filter($_POST['session']);
if (!empty($errors)) {
foreach ($_POST['session'] as $value) {
$session.=$value.',';
}
$session=substr($session, 0 , -1);
}
Warning: array_filter() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\manage\test_bank\index.php on line 729
You need to check wheather it is an array or not, before doing any array operation.
if(is_array($_POST['session'])){
$errors = array_filter($_POST['session']);
}
The warning occurs because array_filters() requires an array to be passed to it. Before passing $_POST['session'] to this function, very if that it is an array:
if(is_array($_POST['session'])) {
$errors = array_filter($_POST['session']);
// continue on
}
use is_arrayfor checking weather it is array or not.
echo is_array($_POST['session']);
This is because $_POST is not an array I guess you are looking for this :
$errors = array_filter($_POST);
The following would most simply check for empty errors or not
!empty($_POST['session'])
Would work provided you are not stuffing empty entries in the $_POST['session'] in no error cases. Why do you need the array_filter?
$_POST is an array, but here $_POST['session'] is not.
You can smply try this:
if(isset($_POST['session']))
{
//do your stuff
}
Change it to array_filter($_POST) because $_POST is an assoc array, or check if $_POST['session'] is an array using this line is_array($_POST['session']) before the array_filter().
You should check first if the variable you are working with is an array before using array functions.
