Sending an Array to an RPG Program Using Toolkit

[zeuskeb]

I have used arrays between php and rpg programs using toolkit but only as output retrieving from the RPG program and receiving into the php program. Now I'm trying to do the opposite by sending a populated array to the rpg program for updating. But when I do, I keep getting the message " Array to string conversion in /QOpenSys/pkgs/lib/php/ToolkitApi/ToolkitServiceXML.php on line 465". Is there something I'm missing in my code?

Thank you,

Brian

@zeuskeb To pass in a populated RPG array parameter as input, create a data structure parameter and pass that in. Each array element can be represented as a subfield in the data structure. For example, if you want to pass an array with 10 elements, create a data structure with 10 subfields all of the same type, containing the data you want to pass in.
Maybe something like:

// Define the data structure (example here is character elements, but you could use any other data type instead)
$ds = [];
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char1', 'CHAR1', 'value1');
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char2', 'CHAR2', value2');
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char3', 'CHAR3', 'value3');
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char4', 'CHAR4', 'value4');
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char5, 'CHAR5', 'value5');
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char6', 'CHAR6', 'value6');
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char7', 'CHAR7', 'value7');
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char8', 'CHAR8', 'value8');
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char9', 'CHAR9', 'value9');
$ds[] = $tk->AddParameterChar('in', 10 ,'Char10', 'CHAR10', 'value10');

// Add the data structure as just another element in your main parameter array.
$param[] = $tk->AddDataStruct($ds, 'myds');
