[SOLVED] array processing - invalid argument

[thefortrees]

Alright - so, I have been trying to get this working all afternoon. I am writing a script to process a huge survey and store the form values in a database. EVERYTHING works but this one array (from HTML form). I'm sure it is a small problem. Any help is appreciated!!

 

Here is the error (I echo other arrays to test that my loop works properly before and after the one with the problem, as can be seen by the printed values.):

Here is the HTML code for the field (checkboxes) that is causing the problems:

 

      <div class="field">

        <label for="uname">(Select as many as apply.)

          <em></em>

        </label>

        <ul>

          <li><input type="checkbox" name="choose_vectec[]" value="Training">Training</li>

          <li><input type="checkbox" name="choose_vectec[]" value="Superior Services">Superior Services</li>

          <li><input type="checkbox" name="choose_vectec[]" value="One on one consulting">One on one consulting</li>

          <li><input type="checkbox" name="choose_vectec[]" value="Reliability">Reliability</li>

          <li><input type="checkbox" name="choose_vectec[]" value="Operations Analysis">Operations Analysis</li>

          <li><input type="checkbox" name="choose_vectec[]" value="Cost">Cost</li>

          <li><input type="checkbox" name="choose_vectec[]" value="Continuing Education">Continuing Education</li>

          <li><input type="checkbox" name="choose_vectec[]" value="Private sector services not available">Private sector services not available</li>

          <li><input type="checkbox" name="choose_vectec[]" value="Private sector services not good">Private sector services not good</li>

        </ul>

      </div>

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

And here is the PHP code from line 44 that processes each array in the form, but only has an error when it reaches ($key == 'choose_vectec'):

 

foreach($_POST as $key => $value){

$passcode = $_COOKIE['passcode'];

$user = $_POST['user'];

$answer = $value;

if ( ($key == 'received_service') || ($key == 'available_sector') || ($key == 'choose_vectec') || ($key == 'use_pensoft2') || ($key == 'use_ctdi2') ){

foreach($_POST[$key] as $values){

$answer .= $values . ' ';

$search = "Array";

$replace = "";

$answer = str_replace($search, $replace, $answer);

}

//echo $answer;

}

$query = "INSERT INTO answers (passcode, user, questionID, answer) VALUES ('$passcode', '$user', '$qid', '$answer');";

mysql_query($query);

$qid++;

}

try

 

echo '<pre>', print_r($_POST, true), '</pre>';

 

and see if there are any clues in the posted values.

Thanks for the help - never knew you could do that.
