Re: Bug #13718 Updated: form elements with same name problem

no, this fails any and all javascript definitions. If you attempt to reference the "so-called" array you are defining in javascript, it will return an error because there is no array. This is simply a hack/feature of php, and not the true functionality as defined by html/javascript. I'm not asking for a means to get an array ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bug Database" <php-dev@lists.php.net> To: <jone1941@yahoo.com> Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 12:10 AM Subject: Bug #13718 Updated: form elements with same name problem > ID: 13718 > Updated by: sniper > Reported By: jone1941@yahoo.com > Old Status: Open > Status: Bogus > Bug Type: Feature/Change Request > Operating System: All > PHP Version: 4.0.6 > New Comment: > > Just name them as 'name=varname[]' (add the []'s in the end) > and you'll get an array. > > --Jani > > > Previous Comments: > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > [2001-10-17 16:47:11] jone1941@yahoo.com > > The problem exists in the way that php handles the reception of a posted form.
