gives me this error message / Software error: Malformed multipart POST

Hello fellow monks, I'm trying to submit 1 or multiple values to be shown in displayorder subroutine

I also tried setting values from food array in printform subroutine directly but still getting error above. However, my preference is the array solution from within printform sub as stated in code presently because I'm getting lots of values where I need to provide checkboxes for user selection choices. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks
