Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Operating System: All
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:
You have this feature as a "possible" in the PHP To-Do list, so I think
this report ought to be reclassified from Bogus. At least then we
could vote on it so you could see what the level of support for it is.
Cheers!

I'm sorry to keep bringing this issue to light, but this actually would
mimic that of your existing functionality.
If you name an element in a form with a [] that does not garuntee that
the variable on the other end will be an array. If there is only one
element posted with that name followed by [] it will end up as a
standard variable.
So, I again make the plea:
If you have more than one element with the same name with or without a
[] it will come out an array. If you have one element with or without
a [] it will come out the other end as a single variable.
It is possible that you actually intended for the single element with
[] to come out as an array, if that is the case, I guess you should
consider this a bug report for the functionality of trailing [] in
forms.

Oh, I'm sorry, I missunderstood you. I understand what you are getting
at, ambiguity can be a problem. I guess I'll just deal with using the
suggestion of indexing on a string in javascript. Thank you for all
your help.

no, i didn't ;)
i just tried to describe what would happen
*if* we would follow your suggestion
and that it is a not so good idea after all
(although we definetly should have a look
at the [] syntax regarding standard conformance)

wow, I just noticed that you are suggesting that php actually generate
an array! I posted two example html files, that clearly show that you
are wrong. PHP always treats them as a single variable, no matter how
many are actually set.
