Invalued Arguments for the title.

Because since your employees array is not between PHP tags <?PHP ?> its just text, so to PHP $employees is not a valid array since its technically no defined.

You should be getting an "Notice: Undefined variable: employees in ..." notice as well for that same reason. Unless your PHP installation is set to not show Notices.

Code:

 <form action="emp_array.php" method="post">
[COLOR=white red]<?PHP[/color]
$employees = array("Ann Jones", "John Smith", "Barny Ruble", "Fred Flintstone", "Pebbles Flintstone", "Betty Rubble");
[COLOR=white red]?>[/color]
 </form>
