[FX.php List] Beating a dead horse (was: trying to read back an array)

[Bob Patin]

I don't think that'll work; here's the thing:

the user may visit this page multiple times, similar to a cart; they may come here, having added a support request, then leave, find another item that needs service,  and add it too.

So that's why i need to build this array; each time they get to this page, i want to show them the list of items that they've selected so far for repair.

So that means that my 2nd loop has to loop thru the array and not my POST values...

Make sense? So that being the case, why isn't it pulling in my array?
