Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-20 12:22:11] sniper@php.net In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to be off. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info. We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-19 23:24:37] youngga@hotmail.com sorry, my english. When I send array with http form, the count of array is duplicate at server page. //My source at http form..... <select name='my_val[]' size='3' onfocus='set_check()' multiple> <option value=' 1'>val1</option> <option value=' 2'>val2</option> <option value=' 3'>val3</option> </select> //My source at server page... count(my_val); // the count value is different from I selected. So I have tested on PHP4.1.2 then no troubles. What is the problem ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18444&edit=1
