$_POST AND array

IWeb

Hello,

Due to security reasons register_globals should be off.

Instead I am using $_POST for accessing posted variables.
But how do I access posted arrays from forms like:

<input type="checkbox" name=cbx[] value="xx" >
<input type="checkbox" name=cbx[] value="xx" >
<input type="checkbox" name=cbx[] value="xx" >
...

e.g. count($_POST["cbx"]) returns "0"
?

Try

$_POST['cbx']['0'] its been a long time since ive done something like this but i think that should work.

Each other remember to add so

2nd one

$_POST['cbx']['1]

I think he's suggesting that that array is null.

I think that you should check if the form is passing by the POST method, and keep to the good practice of enclosing form element names in double quotes.

I just found out something interesting:
count($_POST["cbx"]); returns the number of checked boxes, but
count($HTTP_POST_VARS["cbx"]); returns "0".
