Nested arrays are handled properly by php, when posted from a html form. Quoting keys in associative arrays in a html form results in different results than if you quote an associative key in php code. i.e. try this: <?php $var2["asdf"] = "asdlfjasdf"; if ($_GET['action'] == 'do') { echo "<pre>\nPosted var"; print_r($_POST['var']); echo "php defined var"; print_r($var2); echo "\n</pre>\n"; } ?> <html> <body> <form action='?action=do' method='post'> <input name='var[]' /><br> <input name='var[]' /><br> <input name='var["asdf"][]' /><br> <input name='var["asdf"]["asdf"]' /><br> <input type='submit' /> </form> </body> </html> the posted var with the double quoted associative keys are interpreted differently than the php-defined associative keys (which are also quoted) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34155 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34155&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34155&report=yes
