[FX.php List] Problem re-submitting checkboxes to FM7

[William Akey]

Dale,

The result of print_r($FieldName); is the single word:

Array

Which, if I understand things correctly, is what I would expect since I used
FieldName[] in the input tag on the preceding page. Is this not correct?

Thanks

William
