The preceding user believes it is improper to use [] to denote variable names in HTML forms. While it is perhaps technically against the rules of the HTML spec (and the names should definitely be enclosed in quotes), it is necessary to do so. If you want the results of a series of checkboxes or a <select multiple> to be put into an array when the form-handling page loads, its name needs to have a [] on the end of it. This gives PHP the necessary hint that you're expecting it to be an array. I know of no other way to give that information to PHP.
