Post Array not working on Safari

ronhelp

I know this doesn't make any sense but I cannot get a piece of code working on safari that works on IE on a PC.

Here is the form:

  echo "<INPUT TYPE='checkbox' name='girlattend[]' value='".$row['girl_ID']."'>";

Here is the next page that it is posted to:

   

$girlattend = $_POST['girlattend'];

When I do an echo count($_POST['girlattend']); - it returns the correct number on a PC but on Safari on a mac it returns 0.

Any ideas - would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried with or without the single quotes on the name and values.

count($_POST['girlattend']) will equal the number of checked checkboxes, not the actual number of displayed checkboxes.

Are you claiming you get a count of 0 in safari even with one or more checkboxes checked?

ronhelp

Yes so for exampl:

If I have two checked items on the girlattend checkbox -

In IE the count returns 2
In Safari it returns 0.

I don't have access to Safari until I get to work tomorrow so I can't try to replicate that error.

The only thing I can think of that might be wrong is if you're serving the page as XHTML, then INPUT and TYPE should be lowercase and you need to close the input tag as well />

It would surprise me if either of those things screwed up safari like that, but it's the best suggestion I can come up with without testing it out myself. Btw, are you using Safari 3 or 4 (got both at work)?

I am on Safari 3.2.1

I tried your syntax corrections and it is still giving me the same results.

Got it! It was some tags above that were out of order therefore not closing properly.

Thanks for your help!!
