what you are going to get from $_POST is PHP's serialized string version of
an array. $_POST is an array. if you read between the %00's, it reads as
follows:

form1[0].#subform[0].name[0]=Robert

(and BTW, POST is just all the form data serialized from the browser thru
HTTP and read into STDIN in C - like typing at the keyboard almost)
