PHP Array to Bash not Working

Sorry for the silly question here today.

I am passing a PHP array to a bash script using implode();.

To test, I am echoing the implode and I can see all array items there, but when I printf '%s\n' "${files[@]}" only the first element of the array is printed.

Am I missing something?

Here is more info:

PHP:

$files = $_POST['files'];    
$files2 = implode(" ", $files);
echo $files2   ## I can see full output here. 
shell_exec ("./sequential.sh $files2");

Bash: 

files = $1
printf '%s\n' "${files[@]}" >> mytempfile.txt

Thanks for any guidance.

files = $1

$1 is only the first argument. If you want all arguments then you can find them in $@:

printf '%s\n' "$@" >> mytempfile.txt
