Problem with checkbox array

[celia]

hi,
I have got a weird bug . I have a form in which I have lot of checkboxes. Hence I used the grouping convention and named the elements like

<input type="checkbox" name="chk_ticket[]" value="S0001">
<input type="checkbox" name="chk_ticket[]" value="S0002">

and after I post to a script , I expect the $_POST['chk_ticket'] to be an array
with two values S0001 and S0002 if both have been checked.

It does work correctly for me locally (in my machine). And when i execute the
print_R($chk_ticket); also I get the two elements printed .. (only locally).

But in my remote server , the same form and the same code is not working ..
I don't know why?

The remote server has :
PHP Version 4.3.10
Windows NT PARROT 5.0 build 2195
running on Microsoft-IIS/5.0

Does this have anything to do with my script ?

Thanks & Regards,
Celia

Whats the error Msg ?

Thanks for replying ..

in server,
print_R($chk_ticket) gives me "Array" as output.
SO does print_R($_POST['chk_ticket']);

I am not able to access this variable in my php and if i print count of chk_ticket , i get 1 where as locally this works perfectly .

Regards,
Celia

Sorry.Problem was not with the checkbox array as such ..While retrieving all the POST data , I look for magic quotes and if that is not enabled i add slashes and rebuild the array.

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
while(list($key,$value)=@each($_POST))
{
$_POST[$key]=addslashes($value); // Problem here
}

}

The above code has caused me the problem when $value happened to be my check box array data.I am still not sure why it caused the problem but I however added a fix to it saying that this if block should execute only if $value is not an array.


if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
while(list($key,$value)=@each($_POST))
{
if(!is_array($value)
$_POST[$key]=addslashes($value);
}

}



This may not be a good fix.People over here might know it better.But I somehow needed to add a quick fix to it.Please do tell me what is the problem with my former(first) code.

Hai celia,
Have you corrected your problem,As my view it will work just try ny giving post_r($_POST) once again at the top of you page and right the next line exit the page.
