Hi Ron and everyone else,

Thanks for your response. Let me expand a bit on my requirement. I have
a dynamically generated form where I am now trying something similiar.
To wit:

<input name='inp[0]' type='checkbox' value='first value'>
<input name='inp[1]' type='checkbox' value='second value'>
<input name='inp[2]' type='checkbox' value='third value'>
..
..
etc

Basically, I present a user with a dynamically generated checklist and
I am trying to see all the values that he has checked.

Doing as you have suggested, count($myArray) gives the correct number
of values ticked.

But only $myArray['0'] is set!
$myArray['1'], $myArray['2'] , ..., etc are not set!

Not to flame or anything, I AM quite surprised by how arcane processing
a checklist in php is turning out to be. :-)


Thanks again!
