Re: Multiple selections

Many thanks!! One thing I do not understand in the "types" of variables is the use and referencing of a variable with the "[]". What I usually do is define a variable as $myvar = array(); And then I use the "[]" to refer to the elements. However, if I understand you suggestion, which works like a champ, the use of the "[]" tells the interpreter to treat $myvar as an array. Todd Marco Tabini wrote:

Sure! Just add [] to the end of the name of the field.

If the Form is of Type GET and two values are selected (e.g. select1 and select2), I see in the URL the following: ?myvar=select1&myvar=select2 "myvar" appears twice, however, if I check the $HTTP_GET_VARS, I only have one value: myvar=select2. Is it possible to get both values? Todd
