Hey guys,
On one of the sites I’m working on there’s a custom php search form I’ve written, and part of it has a list of categories on the side which are checkboxes.

So naturally they all share the name=“category[]” property so that they’re accessible as an array. Nothing crazy going on there.

Yet the resulting GET query string like below results in the following sorts of php errors.

(i.e. “/resources/search?keywords=test&categories;[]=109”)

(the forum is replacing the percent5B percent5D special chars in the above).

If you look in the Template library you can see it’s freaking out when the ee()->config->_global_vars are being processed… it seems like it doesn’t support this functionality?

I’m not missing something am I? Has anyone else got something like this working?

Hmm I’ve seen it elsewhere in some safecracker implementations (I’m not using safecracker). So it has to be able to support it.

For the record I’m using EE2.6.1 in this instance.
