From: jaco.rietveld@ision.nl Operating system: RH 6.4 PHP version: 3.0.14 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: two dimensional array in POST doesn't work I would like to use two dimensional array's in my html forms, so $array["id1"]["id2"] becomes available in my script. A 1 dimensional array with named entries works fine : include <INPUT type=text name=array[id1]> in your html form and you get it's value in $array["id"] when form is POSTed. Next I tried putting <INPUT type=text name=array[id1][id2]> in the form. Now you don't get the value in $array["id1"]["id2"] but instead the POSTed value is put in $array["id1][id2"] - the array stays 1 dimensional witk key "id1][id2". Maybe I am trying to abuse something here which might not even be efficient to do, but for my app this feature would simplify things a little. regards, Jaco Rietveld
