array variables

[Anon]

I have a form that passes variables and all is well except the check box variables
here is the first page I introduce the check boxes...

<input type="checkbox" name="months_to_receive_newsletters[]" value="jan">
<input type="checkbox" name="months_to_receive_newsletters[]" value="feb">
<input type="checkbox" name="months_to_receive_newsletters[]" value="mar">
and so on....

On the second page I get the variables in an array... still going fine:
using this code

<?
foreach($months_to_receive_newsletters as $months) {
?>

<input type="hidden" name="months_to_receive_newsletters[]" value="<? echo "$months" ?>">
<?
}
?>

On the third page when I try to echo the results to print, It prints "Array".
I have tried every way I can think of and looked around.
I want to print the results on this page and send them to the last step form handling...

<?echo "$months_to_receive_newsletters"?>

any Ideas..

Am I going about this in the right way?

Thanks in advance....

you cant just echo the array out. you need to do same what you did in the first example.

e.g.
echo $array; // will not work, be specific e.g.
echo $array['jan'];

I tried that and I got this:

Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'

heres the exact line I used:

<? echo "$months_to_receive_newsletters['jan']";

?>

and jan was a hidden value in the previous page

Thanks again

I don't have the exact answer for you but try using the following function which will clue you in on if the array is working properly...

print_r(ArrayName);
