I need to know how to use an array of checkboxes and find out if these
checkboxes are on or off. cyborg will you please post your code.
Here is how i am creating my checkboxes.
$tmps = getforumtemplates();
if(!is_array($tmps))
{
print "<br><br>Their are no templates defined. If you would like to
enter one please click on Add New link.\n";
?>
<br>
<?php
}//end if
else
{ $number = 0;
$arr = array();
print "Template Name:<br>";
foreach($tmps as $t)
{?> <input type="checkbox" name="templates[]">
<?=$t->name?><font
size = "-1">
<a
href="modifyforumtemplates.php?tid=<?=$t->templateid?>">modify</a></font><br>
<?php
$number++;
}
//end foreach

Not PHP bug -> bogus.

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)

Please show us the script in which you do the print_r().

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.
