Can you paste the calling code. Can you confirm the crawled page is valid markup.

ssanders commented 9 years ago
$form = $crawler->filter('form')->form();
<input type="hidden" name="repairBidRelatedByAssetIdentifierList[0].selectWholeBidFlag" value="true">

I think this might be an issue in DomCrawler, not Goutte. However not sure on the use of . in the field name - from PHP manual

Note:

Dots and spaces in variable names are converted to underscores. For example <input name="a.b" /> becomes $_REQUEST["a_b"].

This seems to help:

$html = $crawler->html();
$html = str_replace('[', '%5B', $html);
$html = str_replace(']', '%5D', $html);
$crawler->clear();
$crawler->add($html);
