Hello,

Running 2.1.0
Build: 20100810

I have a form which submits to a channel.

All going well except for checkbox array which is failing on submission.

This is fine:

<input name="reg_q5[Ford]" type="checkbox" value="Ford"  checked="checked" />

This fails with ‘Disallowed Key Characters’

<input name="reg_q5[Aston Martin]" type="checkbox" value="Aston Martin"  />

What’s failing is the space in the reg_q5 array name.
I’ve edited Line 538 of system/codeigniter/system/core/Input.php
from:

exit('Disallowed Key Characters.');

To:

exit("Disallowed Key Characters: $str");

The above indeed shows me that spaces are the issue.

I cannot hard code the array name as it’s genereated in a loop and I’m loathed to start making permanent edits to the core.

Any suggestions?

John

I’ve been reliably informed that I can leave my array value as blank and this mitigates EE throwing an error. (Well, it’s not an error, it’s EE doing its job)
