Re: Multiple multiple selects

So Steff (having come down off the lectern) I poked through your code some more and a question arises: obviously it is each() which is puking on the $$arrayName, so what do you get by echoing $$arrayName immediately before the while(list()) line ? Another thought: can you get data out by building a print statment that is driven off manual indexes into $othermemX[1], etc. [ in place of the while(list() ) line ] ? (ie., is the data really there?)
