Hi.
Why doesn't PHP convert mutiselect values with plain names (not array-like)
to arrays. Is there any reason to not doing this?
Example:
I have a page with multiselect, which name is SEL1
(I cannot use square brackets because I need to use a JavaScript on the
page, so, it's not allowed in
Example:

(I cannot use square brackets because I need to use a JavaScript on the
page, so, it's not allowed in variable names to contain [ ] ).

And in GET data either I think.
Why
Well. It could be prevented with some directive. Something like
?php_convert_multiple_to_array?

Interaction with Javascript is problematic if you use [] in the variable

What I do when I need multidimensional arrays from forms, is name my
variables:
INPUT NAME=i::foo::bar VALUE= ...
i.e., I delimit the dimensions with ::. Then, on the page they are posted
to, I do:
?
