[mapserver-users] passing arrays betn. php and javascript (fwd)

[Pushkar Pradhan]

Puneet, Steve Thanks for your responses.
I actually achieved the desired in php itself:
I've a checkbox asking whether the user wants to change the drawing order
of layers,
if it's checked it redirects them to a new page with the chosen layers,
the user plays around with this array (arranging elements) and when they
submit they are redirected to the original page,
then I plan to do setlayers....() etc.
I suppose lot of people must have done this, actually I have to do this
since one of our client wanted to specify his own drawing order?
