I know this is not strictly speaking a PHP question but it is to do with a PHP app. I have a form with a number of hidden values in it. After the post print_r( $_POST ) shows all the values except these (this is copied from 'Show Source' in the browser. <input type=hidden name=keyField[mb_memberships][0] value=mb_e_id> <input type=hidden name=keyValue[mb_memberships][0] value=100000> <input type=hidden name=keyField[mb_memberships][1] value=mb_id> <input type=hidden name=keyValue[mb_memberships][1] value=1> Any idea why they wont post?

The *do* POST, but PHP only handles one level of array references in NAME=xxx

not true (he does mention that print_r() does not show these values, given that he has run print_r() on $_POST its fair to assume that he would have noticed if his var were only 'half there' so to speak), here's a url format I use in a generic CMS thingy: ?a=512&e[n]=xxx&e[f][kf][MY_ID]=1&e[f][kf][YOUR_ID]=2&e[f][n]=xyz&e[f][kf][CHILD_ID]=3 the only problem I have is that I can max out the number of bytes excepted in a GET request, I don't destiguish between POST/GET and it works just as well via a post form. arbitrary $_POST dump (simple): Array (

    [a] => 512
    [e] => Array
        (
            [n] => compoundpart
        )

    [PART_ID] =>

You can do something like: <?php while (list($keys, $value) = each($_POST['keyField'])){

    $keys = explode('][', $keys);
    list($key1, $key2) = $keys;
    $realKeyField[$key1][$key2] = $value;

} ?>
