Getting multiple checkbox values within ProcessWire

[teppo]

As the title says, I'm trying to get multiple checkbox values via PW:

<form method="GET">
<input type="checkbox" name="bs[]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="bs[]" value="2" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?php
var_dump($input->get->bs);

When I submit that form, it results in URL like this: "...?bs%5B%5D=1299&bs%5B%5D=1300". URL encoding makes it a bit hard to read, but that should still work. Var_dump outputs following:

string(5) "Array"

It seems that PW converts GET array to string "Array". Same thing happens if I use $_GET['bs'] instead of $input. When I tried putting a simple test script that doesn't use PW this is the result of same query (with URL encoded and all) - and this is exactly what I was expecting PW to give me too:

array(2) { [0]=> string(4) "1299" [1]=> string(4) "1300" }

So, does anyone know how to bypass this behavior?

Edit: this has been solved -- the problem wasn't ProcessWire, it was the way I was passing variables around, which eventually ended up flattening arrays to strings. Long story short: ProcessWire itself handles multiple checkbox values / GET (and probably POST) arrays just fine.

Sorry folks, my mistake!
