Why does $_POST return multi array - multidimensional-array

Question

I have the following HTML form
<form id="form2" name="form2" method="post" action="process.php">
<table width="271" border="1">
<tr>
<td width="5"><input name="txtIdone2" type="text" id="txtIdone2" value="Richard" /></td>
<td width="250">
<label for="txtIdone"></label>
<input name="txtIdone" type="text" id="txtIdone" value="Hopes" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input name="txtIdone3" type="text" id="txtIdone3" value="Testing" /></td>
<td><input name="txtIdone4" type="text" id="txtIdone4" value="this" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input name="txtIdone5" type="text" id="txtIdone5" value="it" /></td>
<td><input name="txtIdone6" type="text" id="txtIdone6" value="works" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="btnTest" id="btnTest" value="Submit" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
That submits to process.php that has the following code:
$data = array($_POST);
print_r ($data);
Simple. However, instead of a regular array being returned, i'm receiving a multi array. Here is an example:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[txtIdone2] => Richard
[txtIdone] => Hopes
[txtIdone3] => Testing
[txtIdone4] => this
[txtIdone5] => it
[txtIdone6] => works
)
)
I just want a regular array returned. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Answer 1

$_POST is already an array.
By doing $data = array($_POST); you are making the array multidimensional.
Try doing simply:
print_r($_POST);
