The array method (foo.php?a[]=1&a[]=2&a[]=3 ) is not peferable to have the html templates cross compatible. There needs to be a mechanism to access these items. With keeping the status quo for the people that like this effect, why not create another global which is a hash of a hash so the duplicated named items are lost. Currently I have written a class to do this all but getting access to multipart variables seems to be harder. (especially when also doing file uploading) eg: foo.php?a=1&a=2&a=3&b=ten&c=eleven $_GET_HASH["a"] = array("1","2","3") $_GET_HASH["b"] = "ten" $_GET_HASH["c"] = "eleven" same effect if a form had been posted $_POST_HASH["a"] = array("1","2","3") $_POST_HASH["b"] = "ten" $_POST_HASH["c"] = "eleven" with $_FILES still accessable like normal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21577&edit=1
