Array'd checkboxes do not parse as arrays :s

HTML:

....
<input type="checkbox" name="groups[]" value="1"  />&nbsp;&nbsp;Administrators<br /><br />

<h5>Remove  DarkAngelBGE from the following projects</h5>
<input type="checkbox" name="projects[]" value="1"  />&nbsp;&nbsp;0.A.D.<br /><br />

<h5>Remove  DarkAngelBGE from the following departments</h5>
<input type="checkbox" name="departments[]" value="8"  />&nbsp;&nbsp;0.A.D.&nbsp;Web + Community Development<br /><br />

As you see I grab the checkboxes with $SITE->input[someThing] (which works as $_POST, just secures the data). Now when I iterate over $SITE->input['projects'] for example (within the isset() statement ! ), I get wrong parameter for foreach. Echoeing it gives a string "Array".

Anyone ?

<input type="checkbox" name="groups[]" value="1" />

ok, I'm assuming that you've got a series of checkboxes all called groups[].

So, on the server side you could access the values of all the selected ones as

echo $_POST['groups'][0]; 

and so on...

if this

foreach( $SITE->input['projects'] as $projectId )

works in the same way then $projectId would contain the array of items in $_POST['projects'] and you would have to loop through each of those.

Or at least I think that makes sense

[DarkAngelBGE]

Hmm..you have to know that $SITE->input['projects'] is the equivalent to $_POST['projects']. So just looping through it and not through each of its elements should work.

Do you agree ?

[DarkAngelBGE]

The greatest thing of all is that it works on my local setup but not on my live server.

[pitcher17]

Can you post the code for $SITE -> input['projects']?

[DarkAngelBGE]

You the code that makes $_POST['projects'] into $SITE->input['projects'] ?

Sure, here it is:

    //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // parseIncoming
    //
    // Inserts $_GET and $_POST into some more usable array and returns it
    //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    function parseIncoming()
    {
        global $PATHVARS, $_GET, $_POST, $HTTP_CLIENT_IP, $_REQUEST, $REMOTE_ADDR, $HTTP_PROXY_USER, $HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR;
                
        $return = array();

        if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) 
        {
             $_GET    = array_map( 'stripslashes', $_GET );
             $_POST   = array_map( 'stripslashes', $_POST );
             $_COOKIE = array_map( 'stripslashes', $_COOKIE );
        }
        
        if( is_array($_GET) )
        {
            while( list($k, $v) = each($_GET) )
            {
                if( is_array( $_GET[$k] ) )
                {
                    while( list( $k2, $v2 ) = each( $_GET[$k] ) )
                    {
                        $return[$k][ $this->cleanKey( $k2 ) ] = $this->cleanValue( $v2 );
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    $return[$k] = $this->cleanValue( $v );
                }
            }
        }
        
        
        $i = 0;
        while ($var = $PATHVARS->fetch()) 
        {
            $return[$i] = $this->cleanValue( $var );
            $i += 1;
        }


        // Overwrite GET data with post data

        if( is_array( $_POST ) )
        {
            while( list( $k, $v ) = each( $_POST ) )
            {            
                if ( is_array( $_POST[$k] ) )
                {
                    while( list( $k2, $v2 ) = each($_POST[$k] ) )
                    {
                        $return[$k][ $this->cleanKey( $k2 ) ] = $this->cleanValue( $v2 );
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    $return[$k] = $this->cleanValue( $v );
                }
            }
        }
        
        return $return;
    } 

There is also the code for my PATHVARS (mod_rewrite) and $_GET. Ignore it.
