#22626 [Fbk->Opn]: POST'ing an Array (<input name="checkbox[70]">) gives string 'Array'

ID: 22626 User updated by: cyborg at driverheaven dot net Reported By: cyborg at driverheaven dot net -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Windows 2003 Server PHP Version: 5CVS-2003-03-10 (dev) New Comment: It appears to have been my problem, as I wasn't checking for whether the variable was an array or string, and attempting to stripslashes() if magic_quotes_gpc was enabled. /me smacks head for being an idiot. (Although there was no problems with it on PHP >= 4.1.0) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-10 14:07:59] derick@php.net Please show us the script in which you do the print_r(). Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-10 13:17:26] cyborg at driverheaven dot net when posting information through a form, using an array for a name, example: 4 inputs: <input name="checkbox[70]" type="checkbox" /> (where 70 is different for each input, according to the messageid) PHP gives the value 'Array' for $_POST['checkbox'], and it is a string, as print_r() displays 'Array', and is_array() returns false on check. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22626&edit=1
