Almost follow this but not quite. Is this the code used to create the
hidden HTML input tag or the one to unpack the variable after the
post. What is really spooky is the keys are actually held in a
variable in an object called keys - your telepathic abilities are very
impressive;). My first thought was when you said PHP only handles one
level in post was to serialize the array, put the serialized version
in as a single hidden HTML tag and unserialize at the other end. do
you reckon this is a goer?
