Anyway, my new question is how do i send an array of data in a post or get method? For example, if the form that I am submitting to has a set of checkboxes that are all the same name. $client->post($url, array('sessionid' => 'abc123', 'options' => array('1', '3', '7')));
Hmmm... It's not really HTML compliant to have multiple checkboxes with the same name. It *is* possible with HTTP_Request using addRawPostData. I don't know if it's possible with HTTP_Client.
Sure it is. Take a look at: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#checkbox "Several checkboxes in a form may share the same control name. Thus, for example, checkboxes allow users to select several values for the same property. The INPUT element is used to create a checkbox control."
Hmmm..is it valid for XHTML?
I would assume so. Have you never done this before? It's a very common practice.
