From: john@neutralize.com Operating system: Windows 98 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Arrays related Bug description: Warning: Undefined index: Service[1] I am dynamically creating input fields in my form with their values stored in an array: <input type="Hidden" name="Service[<?php echo $counter ?>]" value="<?php echo odbc_result($result, "ServiceId") ?>"> These submit fine but I am having trouble accessing the results of the array from the post variables: $serviceId = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Service[".$counter."]"]; OR $serviceId = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Service['.$counter.']']; OR $serviceId = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Service[.$counter.]']; OR $serviceId = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Service[.$counter.]"]; How do I reference the values in PHP if not like this? When using var_dump($HTTP_POST_VARS); I get the following: array(11) { ["Action"]=> string(1) "2" ["Quote"]=> string(2) "38" ["Service"]=> array(13) { [1]=> string(1) "1" [2]=> string(1) "2" [3]=> string(1) "3" [4]=> string(1) "4" [5]=> string(1) "5" [6]=> string(1) "6" [7]=> string(1) "7" [8]=> string(1) "8" [9]=> string(1) "9" [10]=> string(2) "10" [11]=> string(2) "11" [12]=> string(2) "12" [13]=> string(2) "13" } ["From"]=> array(13) { [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(0) "" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(0) "" [6]=> string(0) "" [7]=> string(0) "" [8]=> string(0) "" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(0) "" [11]=> string(0) "" [12]=> string(0) "" [13]=> string(0) "" } ["To"]=> array(13) { [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(0) "" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(0) "" [6]=> string(0) "" [7]=> string(0) "" [8]=> string(0) "" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(0) "" [11]=> string(0) "" [12]=> string(0) "" [13]=> string(0) "" } ["NoServices"]=> array(13) { [1]=> string(1) "0" [2]=> string(1) "0" [3]=> string(1) "0" [4]=> string(1) "0" [5]=> string(1) "0" [6]=> string(1) "0" [7]=> string(1) "0" [8]=> string(1) "0" [9]=> string(1) "0" [10]=> string(1) "0" [11]=> string(1) "0" [12]=> string(1) "0" [13]=> string(1) "0" } ["NoUnits"]=> array(13) { [1]=> string(1) "0" [2]=> string(1) "0" [3]=> string(1) "0" [4]=> string(1) "0" [5]=> string(1) "0" [6]=> string(1) "0" [7]=> string(1) "0" [8]=> string(1) "0" [9]=> string(1) "0" [10]=> string(1) "0" [11]=> string(1) "0" [12]=> string(1) "0" [13]=> string(1) "0" } ["Comment"]=> array(13) { [1]=> string(0) "" [2]=> string(0) "" [3]=> string(0) "" [4]=> string(0) "" [5]=> string(0) "" [6]=> string(0) "" [7]=> string(0) "" [8]=> string(0) "" [9]=> string(0) "" [10]=> string(0) "" [11]=> string(0) "" [12]=> string(0) "" [13]=> string(0) "" } ["Use"]=> array(1) { [9]=> string(3) "Yes" } ["ServiceCount"]=> string(2) "13" ["Submit"]=> string(6) "Submit" } These being the values for service: ["Service"]=> array(13) { [1]=> string(1) "1" [2]=> string(1) "2" [3]=> string(1) "3" [4]=> string(1) "4" [5]=> string(1) "5" [6]=> string(1) "6" [7]=> string(1) "7" [8]=> string(1) "8" [9]=> string(1) "9" [10]=> string(2) "10" [11]=> string(2) "11" [12]=> string(2) "12" [13]=> string(2) "13" } -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9926&edit=1
