Hi Nick,
I never managed to use a list within an array; and on the IRC channel
people are often reporting they are trying, but not succeeding
I would be really interrested if someone came up with a simple solution.
When I need to use something like this, I add another level in the array
"groups[specialadmins][gid]" string => "1000";
"groups[specialadmins][members][1]" string => "bill"
"groups[specialadmins][members][2]" string => "ted"
Regards
Nicolas CHARLES
