[Resolved] checkboxes and $_POST

[terfle]

With the HTML

<input type=checkbox name=ques[] value=1>
<input type=checkbox name=ques[] value=2>
<input type=checkbox name=ques[] value=3>

and the recieving page:

<?
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) {
	echo $value . "<BR>";
	print_r($value);
	echo "<BR>";
	if (is_array($value))
		echo "Value is an array<BR>";
	if ($value == "Array")
		echo "Value has the value array<BR>";
}
?>

I am getting the output

Array
Array
Value has the value array

Why can't I get $value to be an actual array?

Do a print_r $_POST and I think you'll see why.

I did a print_r on $POST and I am still confused. Another thing that I don't understand (maybe this will help answer my question) how can I write this statement without using "register_globals = On"?

print_r($_POST[ques]);

This just prints out "Array"

But if I turn "register_globals = On"

print_r($ques);

this will print out Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 )
