Simple question; using ( or [ in an array

[Kyrislian]

I will state right here that I've never really delved into PHP before, but I'm prying apart the code on my site (a programmer made it for me). I've figured out how to add more checkboxes onto the page, but I've run into a problem.

 

'Artist' => array ( 'Cassiadawn', 'Cryptic', 'Diction', 'Glorfindel', 'Kyrislian', 'Russa', 'Ntkufreak', 'Taliba', 'Thunderbun', 'Velg', 'Lostdollie', 'Pookawitch')  

 

What I'm trying to do is replace  'Lostdollie', 'Pookawitch' with  'Lostdollie [R]', 'Pookawitch[R]'. How can I do this? I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give me!

Just do what you have done in your example. As long as you stay between the quotes it'll be fine.

The funny thing is that when I do use those, the data isn't saved so their respective checkboxes don't remain checked. All options from then on down continue to behave as if nothing had been checked.

On GET/POST data, PHP considers things in [] to be array indices.

Is there any way then for me to use it? I know that some code you can circumvent them by using special combinations of text/character but I'm unsure if there's anything like this for php. Also, if there's no way of using it, how about ( )?

 

Thanks much for all the helpful advice!

Sorry, I didn't really read the post. Just use the html equivalents [ ] maybe?

Ah, it doesn't work either. Thanks very much for your help though!
