I have this code:

<html>
<head>
 <title>Test of Posting Array</title>
</head>
<body><br>
<h2>Php Version = <?= phpversion(); ?></h2><br>
<?
# Check for Post, show array values

if ($_POST)
{
 echo "<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>Key</th><th>Color</th></tr>";
 foreach ($_POST['colors'] as $key => $color)
 {
  echo "<tr><td>$key</td><td>$color</td></tr>";
 }
 echo "</table><br><br>";
 echo "<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>Key</th><th>Size</th></tr>";
 foreach ($_POST['sizes'] as $key => $size)
 {
  echo "<tr><td>$key</td><td>$size</td></tr>";
 }
 echo "</table><br><br>";
 echo "<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>Key</th><th>Size</th></tr>";
 for ($x = 0; $x <= count($_POST['sizes']) - 1; $x++)
 {
  echo "<tr><td>$x</td><td>" . $_POST['sizes'][$x] . "</td></tr>";
 }
 echo "</table><br><br>";
}
elseif ($_GET)
{
 echo "<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>Key</th><th>Color</th></tr>";
 foreach ($_GET['colors'] as $key => $color)
 {
  echo "<tr><td>$key</td><td>$color</td></tr>";
 }
 echo "</table><br><br>";
 echo "<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>Key</th><th>Size</th></tr>";
 foreach ($_GET['sizes'] as $key => $size)
 {
  echo "<tr><td>$key</td><td>$size</td></tr>";
 }
 echo "</table><br><br>";
 echo "<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>Key</th><th>Size</th></tr>";
 for ($x = 0; $x <= count($_GET['sizes']) - 1; $x++)
 {
  echo "<tr><td>$x</td><td>" . $_GET['sizes'][$x] . "</td></tr>";
 }
 echo "</table><br><br>";
}
else 
{
 # Show the form
?>
<form method="post">
 <input type="checkbox" name="colors[]" value="Red" checked>Red<br>
 <input type="checkbox" name="colors[]" value="Black">Black<br>
 <input type="checkbox" name="colors[]" value="Blue" checked>Blue<br>
 <input type="checkbox" name="sizes[0]" value="Small" checked>Small<br>

I've had the exact same problem. To get my stuff to work I switched to the cgi version. Its got to be a bug within php--$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA returns all the data intact. $_POST doesnt.

Your code looks and works fine for me! I am using PHP version 4.2.2, perhaps it has something to do with a change made in 4.2.3😕

however it's strange...

apparently that bug only occurs if you compile with --enable-mbstr-enc-trans

So if you don't need this, you could remove it and still use 4.2.3 if you wanted.
