Very nice, thank you. I was hoping there would be a way to do it without resorting to eval(), but if even you can't figure out how, I'm not going to waste any more time trying to either :)
You probably could by breaking it into each part and then using a loop to descend to the right place, but I don't think that's going to be any better than using eval.
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.
Not quite what I was thinking of. More like this: http://dev.stut.net/php/davey2.php -Stut -- http://stut.net/
