Coding question – need to input an array of arrays on the form

[swisspenelope]

Hi

My question concerns swpm-front-registration, swpm-form, swpm-transfer and the Add and Edit views.

(It is not urgent, although I have been going crazy for some days trying to figure out how to do it.)

My membership form needs to support more than simple one-to-one key=>value pairs of input data. I have all the tables and other code set up, but the problem is the swpm-transfer class wants to initialize each set of fields for a form to:
$some_fields = array
(
‘One_field’ => ”,
‘Another_field’ => ”
);
whereas I need something like
$some_fields = array
(
‘One_field’ => {”,”,”,”, …}
);

The above situation corresponds to a set of checkboxes enabling several chosen activities per member.

In swpm-front-registration, near the end of the regigstration_ui($level) function, after:

if (!empty($swpm_registration_submit)) 
{
       $member = $_POST;

… when I print_r the contents of $member, I can see my selected checkboxes clearly, in the format:

[lang_group] => Array
        (
            [0] => French Elementary
            [1] => Italian Beginners
            [2] => Japanese
        )

but I can’t get your swpm framework to understand and work with them!

Any ideas? Or else, if this is too complicated, is there a workaround that is not too dangerous? (None of my data is highly confidential – it’s all very mundane stuff.)

Thanks, if and when you have time to answer this.
