I have the same duplicating array value problem when posting values
from a multiple select box [] array using php 4.2.2. Apache 2.0.40.
GET method does not duplicate the values. Happens in Netscape 4.08 and
IE 5.5
Even the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA has duplicate values:
multiselect%5B%5D=one&multiselect%5B%5D=two&multiselect%5B%5D=three&submit=Sendmultiselect%5B%5D=one&multiselect%5B%5D=two&multiselect%5B%5D=three&submit=Send
Any clues would be appreciated,
Thanks

by the way this problem seems to appear only in conjunction with Apache
2.0.x! Everything seems to work normally on 1.3
Another thing: In this combination (php2.3.x and apache 2.0.x) the
infamous phpmyadmin sometimes produces strange bugs doing data
inserts/updates. I think this might be related, because the phpmyadmin
insert statements sometimes seem to have duplicate keys and sometimes
look scrambled.

This is a serious problem and it is not bogus!
It has nothing to do with IE but is a php 4.2.x 4.3.x bug!
imorgan (post above) is exactly right. We also watch this behaviour. By
the way we also get some strange string fields, looks like some
scrambled C string field which was not cleared correctly. Definitley
php bug. It was introduced when we updated php 4.0.x to current 4.3.1!
(It did not happen in php 4.0.x)
Pleeease fix it!
Bye
Peter

This is not an IE-only problem. Happens here with Mozilla too, and
every other browser I tried.
I sniffed the actual protocol exchange, and confirmed that if 5 options
are selected, only those 5 are sent to the server. PHP duplicates all
except the first item. i.e. 1 submitted: 1 seen, 2 submitted: 3 seem,
3:5, 4:7, 5:9, etc. This is most definitely looks like a PHP bug. (PHP
4.3.0, Apache 2.0.43)

I could trace the same behaviour in a different script: IE5.0,
multipart/formdata and a special char copied from a Winword document.
Indeed, I wonder, if it is IE5.0 that is doubling the array, or there
is any strange thing (in IE5.0) that causes php to double the array
when receiving it. The first is of course a bug in IE5.0. The latter
would be one in php.
Maybe a developer can sniff the transmitted code and trace if IE5.0 is
already doubling the value(s) or if this happens in php's
value-handling.

PS: For the time being we use array_unique() to filter out the doubled
values in our array but this is not helpful if double values are
allowed in an array.
