Nevertheless, the browser send values of all the checked inputs. Configuration: xp pro whith all updates SERVER_SOFTWARE : Microsoft-IIS/5.1 Browser : Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6.0.2600.0000.xpclnt_qfe.021108-2107 php.ini changes: cgi.force_redirect = 0 fastcgi.impersonate = 1 file_uploads = On upload_max_filesize = 2M Reproduce code: --------------- <FORM NAME="f" ACTION="http://localhost/test.php" METHOD="post" > <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="groupes" VALUE="65"> <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="groupes" VALUE="55"> <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="groupes" VALUE="50"> <INPUT TYPE="submit" > </form> test.php: <?php print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [groupes] => Array ( [0]=>65 [1]=>55 [2]=>50 ) ) For sample or Array ( [groupes] => "65_55_50" ) Actual result: -------------- result: Array ( [groupes] => 50 ) Yet i checked the three inputs and the browser send this query string :groupes=65&groupes=55&groupes=50 (This result is normal when it is known that $HTTP_POST_VARS is an associate array but it's not very logical) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25407&edit=1
