#18861 [NEW]: On a form, a "checkbox" array does not appear to be indexing properly.

From: tony@cigardiary.com Operating system: Linux thebe 2.2.14 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Arrays related Bug description: On a form, a "checkbox" array does not appear to be indexing properly. The problem that I am having is that I have created an array of input elements on a form, and I have been having problems with the checkbox elements being passed appropriately. When I fill in the form entries, I expect the corresponding values to be populated, but when I select any of the checkboxes, for example, 1, 3, and 7... It always returns a Yes for 0,1, and 2. This causes problems when I'm deleting the user's pictures based on their selection. :) Configure line follows. --- './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs=/opt/apache-1.3.20/bin/apxs' '--with-pear' '--with-openssl' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-curl' '--with-gd' '--with-png-dir=/usr/lib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib' '--with-ttf' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-pspell' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--disable-debug' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-gettext' '--with-xml' --- A sample script follows. --- <?php if (isset($submit)) { for ($i=0; $i<26; $i++) { echo 'i='.$i.'
