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

[Dale Bengston]

William,

Hmm. If indeed your $FieldName is an array, print_r would write the  
contents of the array to the screen:
Array ([0] => this, [1] that, [2] other). Using echo would write the  
word Array.

Are you processing the value(s) of the checkboxes with JavaScript  
prior to submitting the form? Can you post the code you use to set  
$FieldName from $_POST?
