in the script that recieve the form submission try adding the following lines to view the contents of the $_GET superglobal array. echo '<pre>'; print_r( $_GET );
tip for those pulling their hair out: PRINT_R() is your friend!!! ...sometimes referred to as the poormans debugger. now lets sing together: "If in doubt print it out!" :-)
echo '</pre>'; once you see the structure it should be clear what array index key(s) you should be using to get to the relevant values. PS - Matt M.'s syntax suggestion is along the right lines (although the actual keys you use may be different. Matt M. wrote:
$_GET['simplevariable'] but am not having much luck with anything like: $_GET["arrayvariable$a"] (1-dimensional array) or $_GET["arrayvariable$a$b"] (2-dimensional array) (I've tried several other odd syntaxes such as $_GET["arrayvariable[$a][$b]"]. Also it's not an \" situation.)
have you tried $_GET["arrayvariable"][$a] or $_GET["arrayvariable"][$a][$b]
