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

[DC]

ok, then something is changing $FieldName before you do the print_r 
step. as Dale so keenly pointed out, you would see the actual array 
printed out.

where is the $FieldName set first?

there has got to be a section of code somewhere that is changing the 
real array into a string that just says "Array"

more code would help.
