note 27871 added to function.implode

No, I don't 'believe' it's improper to use '[]' in names ... the HTML-standard loud an clear state it is. It is not a matter of religion ;o) Any violation of the HTML-standard is 'technically against the rules' ... but how does this one defer? These characters cannot be used in names - quotes or no quotes. When you are able to do so anyway - and do it - you're relying on a browser-bug. That has never been good coding-practise. Checkboxes can be given unique names, and can be recognized on the server. Also if there is a dynamic number ... they need not be in an array. A multiple selectbox is not the most brilliant constructed HTML-element ... i agree. When send with 'GET' you can fetch the selected options by exploding the $_ENV["QUERY_STRING"], but the element doesn't work with 'POST'. It's not very well thoght through, but that's life. Another 'hack' is to rely on client-side scripting and fill a hidden input onsubmit - which isn't good either. None of these disadvantages should result in bad HTML-code, though. One should find another way to solve the problem. /best regards -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27871 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27871 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27871
