After trying to find the problem I was unable to produce the problem
without my usual includes, which includes stripping slashes from the
$_POST variable. Indeed when I made a script with this one function
(below) it had the same behaviour. I'm now no longer sure this is a
bug, apologies for wasting your time. Here's the script, for
reference:
<?php
$_POST = array_map('stripslashes',$_POST);
if (!isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["test"])) {
echo '<form action="'.$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].'?hai=hai"
method="post"><select multiple="multiple" size="5"
name="test[]"><option name="o1">Option 1</option><option
name="o2">Option 2</option><option name="o3">Option
3</option></select><br /><input type="submit" value="Go"></form>';
} else {
echo 'These should all be identical<br />$_POST:<br />';
print_r($_POST["test"]);
echo '<br />$HTTP_POST_VARS:<br />';
print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS["test"]);
echo '<br />register globals:<br />';
print_r($test);
}
?>

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc.
If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:
------------
The $_POST variable does not return an array (eg. from a select
multiple box) but instead returns the word "Array". $HTTP_POST_VARS and
register globals do not have this problem.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<select multiple="multiple" name="test[]">
<option name="o1">Option 1</option>
<option name="o2">Option 2</option>
<option name="o3">Option 3</option>
</select>
User selects some of these and clicks Submit
Expected result:
----------------
I would expect that these three cases should be equal on the PHP
receiving side:
$arr = $_POST["test"];
$arr = $HTTP_POST_VARS["test"];
$arr = $test;
(On systems with register globals)
Actual result:
--------------
Instead:
$arr = $_POST["test"];
$arr is a string with the word "Array" (incorrect)
$arr = $HTTP_POST_VARS["test"];
$arr is the array of selected items (correct)
$arr = $test;
On systems with register globals, $arr is the array of selected items
(correct)
