Hello Manuel,

So you suggest that I use the name attribute in XHTML and ignore the fact
that it has been depreciated and replaced by the ID attribute? Will that
solve my problem?

That's not a PHP problem.  PHP just processes form values sent by the
browser.  It is up to the browser to pick the field names when the form is
submitted.

Anyway, I think that browsers will always pick the field names from the
NAME attribute to keep backwards compatibility.
