The second array is created by the rendered objects. I'm guessing you created text fields like: <input type="text" name="schools[]"> <input type="text" name="schools[]"> <input type="text" name="schools[]"> ...That creates an array with 3 values, empty until the user types something, upon POST (or GET) of the form. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
