[RESOLVED] What's in this array?

cupboy

userauctions[] that is in this html is referred to later on as $_POST['userauctions']

What I'm trying to figure out is, what is supposed to be in the array?

The code is a bit too magical for me.

<tr>
<td><input
id="cb-383"
type="checkbox"
name="userauctions[]"
value="383"></td>
<td>6724</td>
<td>Betamax SLHF900</td>
<td>$550.00</td>
<td>TouchBuy</td>
</tr>

If that is the first form element in the form with the name of "userauctions[]", then the PHP script called by the form will have an array element called $POST['userauctions'][0] with a value of "383". If it's the 2nd element in the form with that name, then the value will be in $POST['userauctions'][1], etc.

userauctions[] is not an array it is the name of your checkbox, the value is 383.
dont know why the [] is part of the name?

Always good to use on select tags requiring or giving the possibility of multiple selections... <select name="selectarray[]" multiple><option value="1">1</option><option value="2">2</option></select>
