Not receiving post values with combo as array

When I name my combo as part of an array, e.g. name="roster[1041]" the values returned in POST are false and I receive no _new_value

If I change the name to not use an array, e.g. roster1, it works fine

Example,

<select style="width: 200px;" id="combo_zone[1041]" name="roster[1041]">
..options..
</select>
<script> var z=dhtmlXComboFromSelect("combo_zone[1041]"); </script>

print_r($_POST)

Array
(

[roster] => Array
(
[1041] => false
)

)

Behavior caused by the way how form names defined, with such init as above you will have two fields with names

roster[1041]
roster[1041]_new_value

PHP will not process second name correctly

you can fix issue, buy adding next line after select-to-combo operaton
       combo.DOMelem_hidden_input2.name="roster_new_value[1041]"
