HTTP_POST_VARS: Data there, but can't get to it

Hi, I'm having some difficulties accessing HTTP_POST_VARS The original form has a table where each row has a set of 3 radio buttons name="whatdo<?php print $x?>[]" where $x is the row counter. (I'm using PHP to pull info into a table, then the user manipulates the info, and it places the info into 2 other tables depending upon what the choice is for the 3 radio buttons). So, on submit, it reloads the page, and I pull in all of the areas. All work except the radio buttons. I've tried: $submitted_vars = $HTTP_POST_VARS; $whatdo = $submitted_vars[whatdo]; --- and $whatdo = $HTTP_POST_VARS["whatdo"]; -- but when I do a print_r($whatdo) it's blank When I do a print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS) I get Array ( [whatdo] => Array ( [0] => load [1] => delete), [other stuff]....) What am I doing wrong :-) How do I access this data? It's so frustrating since all the rest of the postvars are working, and I can see that the data's there in the HTTP_POST_VARS....I just can't get to it. (pun not intended) Thanks, Lara --------------------- Lara J. Fabans Lodestone Software, Inc lara@lodestone-sw.com
