[Resolved] Accessing an array within $_POST...

[vaaaska]

I've done this before but now I'm uanble to make this work...I'm trying a create an array of values that I can grab from $_POST. In my form I have:

<input type='checkbox' name='hello[a]' value='1' checked />
<input type='checkbox' name='hello[b]' value='0'  />
<input type='checkbox' name='hello[c]' value='1' checked />
<input type='checkbox' name='hello[d]' value='1' checked />

After the form is submitted...and I print_r($_POST) it reads "[hello] => Array" but I simply can't find a way to access it's contents.

I've extracted and exploded, etc...no luck...

Is there something else I should be doing? I'd like to try to stick with the above convention "name=hello[asdf]" if it's possible.

Edit: This is strange...if I access $hello as a global (from within the function) I can get the array. If I access $POST['hello'] I can't. Even if I extract($POST) and then access $hello I still get "Array".

???

$POST['hello']['a'] - $POST['hello']['d'] should work

but remember: only checked checkboxes will be submitted

if it doesn't work: post the result of your print_r

After I couldn't get your method to work I knew something else was mucking this up. I have a little function to deal with magic_quotes of all things and it's messing up the arrays inside of $_POST. Sheesh...guess I know what else needs to be looked at now... 😉

Thanks for the help...v
