Re: Tricky array question

Hi Andy, I was just reading your message, do I see that you send an array with a form? Like <input name="glacier[x]"> ? I just wanted you to know that using brackets [] is not allowed in the html-name attribute! Your html-page will not validate :( The sollution is sending al your vars as simple vars (no array) and collect them with HTTP_GET_VARS[] or HTTP_POST_VARS[], php-variables. Maybe this will also be a sollution for your problem... just take a look from another point of view :) Cheers, Rainer.
