I've been building a form with several related select fields. The names are agent_id[].
On my Dev server they work fine and populate the PHP global variables correctly (eg $_POST, $_REQUEST). On the Production server they don't populate the variables at all.
Here's the Dev server: http://www.tech-development.net/cal_tours/DEV/test.php (PHP Version 5.2.9)
Here's the Production server: https://74.208.172.205:8443/sitepreview ... m/test.php (PHP Version 5.1.6)
Exact same code but different results.
I think that there are some settings issues but wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue and how to fix it.
Thanks for your help.

HTML form name arrays ie square bracket names
Moderator: General Moderators
Re: HTML form name arrays ie square bracket names
no idea since you have not posted any source code, but off the top of my head maybe one server has register globals on and the other has them off - if you are depending on register globals. I always code without using register globals as they can be a security risk.

Re: HTML form name arrays ie square bracket names
that is your form html
we need to view 'testresult.php' and any required/include files contained therein.
