When passing an array through a form echo is running into trouble.

example:

<form action="array.php" method="post"> 
Name: <input type="text" name="personal[name]"><br> 
Email: <input type="text" name="personal[email]"><br> 
<input type="submit"> 

on the next page, i'm trying to retrieve the values:

print_r($personal) says: Array ( [name] => martijn [email] => martijn@tiel.nu ).

echo "$HTTP_POST_VARS['personal']['name']"; 
no value is being displayed.

echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['personal']['name'];  (whithout "")
the value is displayed, but the function 'echo' doesn't work properly anymore.

I hope someone can explain me why.

regards Martijn

The bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support
questions. For a list of a range of more appropriate places to ask
for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Try putting {} around the variable name..

This looks to me like a serious bug not a request.

The only solutions is to set global_register to "on" which
ain't very save. (according the manual!).

What i'm trying to say is: YOU CAN'T PASS AN ARRAY ANYMORE!
unless ...

This works:
echo "{$HTTP_POST_VARS['personal']['name']}";
RTM!
 [2002-04-09 11:33 UTC] cynic@php.net 
echo "this is {$foo['bar']['baz']} an array index";
echo "this is $foo[bar][baz] an array index";

both versions will work. this is (and has been since I remember) documented
in the manual.
