Hello,

I want to add more than one term_id like

$articleOption[‘post_category’] = array(1,2,3,4,5);

there is a array like

$arr[0] = "0";
$arr[1] = "1";
$arr[2] = "2";

although the $category output is like 1,2,3, it doesnt work

$category = implode(",", $arr);
$articleOption['post_category'] = array($category);

However it is work;

$cnt = count($arr);

if($cnt=1)
	$articleOption['post_category'] = array($arr[0]);
if($cnt=2)
	$articleOption['post_category'] = array($arr[0],$arr[1]);
if($cnt=3)
	$articleOption['post_category'] = array($arr[0],$arr[1],$arr[2]);
if($cnt=4)
	$articleOption['post_category'] = array($arr[0],$arr[1],$arr[2],$arr[3]);
if($cnt=5)
	$articleOption['post_category'] = array($arr[0],$arr[1],$arr[2],$arr[3],$arr[4]);
if($cnt=6)
	$articleOption['post_category'] = array($arr[0],$arr[1],$arr[2],$arr[3],$arr[4],$arr[5]);

So I think it just accept integer one by one.
How can I get rid of these if conditions ?
please help me

thanks..

implode function returns a string, so when you write this:
```
$category = implode(",", $arr);
$articleOption['post_category'] = array($category);
```
You are actually assigning array(“1,2,3”) instead of array(1,2,3). Be careful, the first one has one string element while the other one has three integer elements.

Since you already have an array filled with the values you want to pass, you should use that one directly:

$articleOption['post_category'] = $arr;

thank you for your reply however,

with this code ($category output is like 3,6,4);
```
$articleOption['post_category'] = $category;
```
there is still error
```
Warning: array_filter() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.7RC4\www\wordpress\wp-includes\post.php on line 2464

You should not use $category as it is a string created by concatenating elements of the array. You should assign the actual array to $articleOption['post_category'] which is the $arr variable.

Again, what you should have written is:

$articleOption['post_category'] = $arr;
