Sending Array to php file for processing

[iggi]

I'm having some trouble sending an array that exists in the clientarea.tpl file of my server provisioning module to my php file for processing.

 

What I am trying to do is get the multidemensional array that is {$configurableoptions} and send it to the php file when a user clicks a button, then they are sent to a new page with the processed data.

 

For right now we have clientarea.tpl with the following content:

 

<form method="post" action="clientarea.php?action=productdetails">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="{$serviceid}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="clientstatus" value="{$clientsdetails.status}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="overdueinvoicebalance" value="{$clientstats.overdueinvoicesbalance}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="packagestatus" value="{$status}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="configoptions" value="{$configurableoptions|@serialize|@htmlspecialchars}"/>
<input type="hidden" name="modop" value="custom"/>
<input type="hidden" name="a" value="clientmanagepage"/>
<input type="submit" value="Manage Your Server"/>
</form>

 

Which invokes the function epicmgr_clientmanagepage:

function epicmgr_clientmanagepage($params){
$configoptions_decoded = htmlspecialchars_decode($configoptions);
$options = unserialize($configoptions_decoded);
$pagearray = array(
	'templatefile' => 'client_manage',
	'breadcrumb' => ' > <a href="#">Manage Server</a>',
	'vars' => array(
	'testvariable' => $options,
	),
);
return $pagearray;
}

 

I've done this by first serializing and encoding the html special characters, which seems to work fine at shows up in the client area as having a value which is the serialized and encoded version of the array (as seen below). However, the PHP file seems to get fed a blank variable and I have no idea why.

 

<form method="post" action="clientarea.php?action=productdetails">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="clientstatus" value="Active"/>
<input type="hidden" name="overdueinvoicebalance" value=""/>
<input type="hidden" name="packagestatus" value="Active"/>
<input type="hidden" name="configoptions" value="a:3:{i:0;a:13:{s:2:"id";s:1:"1";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";s:10:"optionname";s:9:"Bandwidth";s:10:"optiontype";s:1:"1";s:13:"selectedvalue";s:1:"1";s:11:"selectedqty";i:0;s:12:"selectedname";s:6:"1000GB";s:14:"selectedoption";s:6:"1000GB";s:13:"selectedsetup";s:4:"0.00";s:17:"selectedrecurring";s:4:"0.00";s:10:"qtyminimum";s:1:"0";s:10:"qtymaximum";s:1:"0";s:7:"options";a:4:{i:0;a:5:{s:2:"id";s:1:"1";s:4:"name";s:6:"1000GB";s:8:"nameonly";s:6:"1000GB";s:9:"recurring";s:4:"0.00";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";}i:1;a:5:{s:2:"id";s:1:"2";s:4:"name";s:14:"2000GB $10.00 ";s:8:"nameonly";s:6:"2000GB";s:9:"recurring";s:5:"10.00";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";}i:2;a:5:{s:2:"id";s:1:"3";s:4:"name";s:15:"3000 GB $20.00 ";s:8:"nameonly";s:7:"3000 GB";s:9:"recurring";s:5:"20.00";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";}i:3;a:5:{s:2:"id";s:1:"4";s:4:"name";s:14:"4000gb $30.00 ";s:8:"nameonly";s:6:"4000gb";s:9:"recurring";s:5:"30.00";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";}}}i:1;a:13:{s:2:"id";s:1:"4";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";s:10:"optionname";s:16:"Operating System";s:10:"optiontype";s:1:"1";s:13:"selectedvalue";s:1:"9";s:11:"selectedqty";i:0;s:12:"selectedname";s:7:"Windows";s:14:"selectedoption";s:7:"Windows";s:13:"selectedsetup";s:4:"0.00";s:17:"selectedrecurring";s:4:"0.00";s:10:"qtyminimum";s:1:"0";s:10:"qtymaximum";s:1:"0";s:7:"options";a:2:{i:0;a:5:{s:2:"id";s:1:"9";s:4:"name";s:7:"Windows";s:8:"nameonly";s:7:"Windows";s:9:"recurring";s:4:"0.00";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";}i:1;a:5:{s:2:"id";s:2:"10";s:4:"name";s:5:"Linux";s:8:"nameonly";s:5:"Linux";s:9:"recurring";s:4:"0.00";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";}}}i:2;a:13:{s:2:"id";s:1:"6";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";s:10:"optionname";s:10:"FTP Backup";s:10:"optiontype";s:1:"1";s:13:"selectedvalue";s:2:"13";s:11:"selectedqty";i:0;s:12:"selectedname";s:4:"10GB";s:14:"selectedoption";s:11:"10GB $5.00 ";s:13:"selectedsetup";s:4:"0.00";s:17:"selectedrecurring";s:4:"5.00";s:10:"qtyminimum";s:1:"0";s:10:"qtymaximum";s:1:"0";s:7:"options";a:2:{i:0;a:5:{s:2:"id";s:2:"13";s:4:"name";s:11:"10GB $5.00 ";s:8:"nameonly";s:4:"10GB";s:9:"recurring";s:4:"5.00";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";}i:1;a:5:{s:2:"id";s:2:"14";s:4:"name";s:13:"100GB $10.00 ";s:8:"nameonly";s:5:"100GB";s:9:"recurring";s:5:"10.00";s:6:"hidden";s:1:"0";}}}}"/>

have you tried $params['configoptions']? $configoptions is not defined in that function.

I replaced $configoptions with $params['configoptions']; and it's still not pulling that line through. No matter if I send it as a long string or as the array structure itself, I just get $params['configoptions'] with an empty array in it. (when I do a print_r on $params I get "[configoptions] => Array ( )")

I'm having some issues with troubleshooting this system, no matter what I change on the backend the module page which I created does not update. It seems like WHMCS is caching, is there a setting to disable this?
