#23197 [Opn->Bgs]: $_POST / $_GET incorrect

ID: 23197 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: Guus-Leeu at gmx dot de -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Linux 2.4.18 PHP Version: 4.3.2RC1 New Comment: Use: <select name="preferredLanguage[]" multiple> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-14 03:35:35] Guus-Leeu at gmx dot de Setup of PHP4.3.2.RC1 (CVS copy of that branch) ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-openssl --with-ldap=/usr/local/openldap --enable-mysql --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --prefix=/usr/local/php4_cvs Suppose I have <form action="my.php" method="post"> <select name="preferredLanguage" multiple> <option value="1">English</option> <option value="2">German</option> <option value="3">Dutch</option> </select> </form> Suppose, the user selects German and Dutch by CTRLclicking the entries. The array $_POST ends up having $_POST["preferredLanguage"] == "3" rather than $_POST["preferredLanguage"][0] == "2" && $_POST["preferredLanguage"][1] == "3" The $_QUERY_STRING (if using method="GET") contains both values, but the $_GET array is not set correctly. I suppose, this has to do with the fact that values are just registered one after the other, as is the case in php_std_post_handler(), whereas it would be nice to have a prelookup if the key already exists and then build an array for its value. I'm not sure where I can fix this, but if you give me the right pointers, I'm sure able to do it myself. I'ld suggest building an array for the key's value that has: ["count"] number of elements [0] first value [1] second value etc. Or did I miss something in my compilation?
