I was wondering about doing something like this: Recurse through $_POST, grabbing all of the keys, and then building a string from them, something like: icecream_batch2_flavours and then storing the value of 'flavours' in a new array with the above as the key. Then I could manipulate the form input name: name="icecream[batch2][flavours][]" or name="icecream['batch2']['flavours'][]" To resemble the above key relatively simply.
