Heres an example from the Variables from outside PHP section of the PHP
docs.
<form action="array.php" method="post">
<select multiple name="beer[]">
<option value="warthog">Warthog
<option value="guinness">Guinness
<option value="stuttgarter">Stuttgarter Schwabenbräu
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
So basically you need to add the [] to the name. So in this example your
results will come back as an array: $beer = array("warthog", "guinness");
if you select the first two items.
