[PHP] Turn multiple input fields / selections into a single array

While trying to design a form so that it takes multiple inputs from text fields and multiselect selection menus, I was facing problem because even though I could handle a fixed number of fields in my script internally, what for multiple selections in a selection list?? The rescuer [] :)
Yes, just use it after the name of you input field, this way.

<select multiple class="input-medium search-query" id="autolist-filter-select" name="filter_str[]">

<input id="autolist-filter-text1" type="text" name="filter_str[]"/> <input id="autolist-filter-text2" type="text" name="filter_str[]"/>

IIUC Programmer's ranklist project

One of my fellow ACMers at IIUC (Shimul) is keeping a nice ranklist on his site. But he has to manually update that list every time any one of us solves new problems :P
Keeping that and my practice on Java in mind, I'm building a Ranklist that will update itself.

For this project the tools and resources that I'm using are:
1. Javascript
2. jQuery
3. uHunt API (by Felix Halim)

Since I don't have any knowledge on Java that can really help me right now, I'm learning some Javascript right now. I'll keep updating this post with new progress reports.

I'm just a bit freaky about testing scripts, don't know why! Nobody pays me for that, it's a shame I guess. Anyways, I've been using Blogger for such a long time that I got bored. So, and for obvious want of a personal website, I created a Joomla based site. Found some generous people letting me have no ads and helping me install things on the fly. The other site is a good place for keeping records categorized. Thought you might like it. Click here.

You can also check Byethost if you're feeling like having a site of your own, not some go-post-get-out blog. They let you do awesome things like installing new scripts and managing your site explicitly via FTP and what not. I personally installed my own favorite Joomla version there by uploading it there. Not from some script loader.
