Sure it is - just name the listbox control "myvar[]" (note the angle

$myvar = array('select1','select2');
Is this the only way to do this?
I just had to do some work with JavaScript and forms and the "myvar[]" name clobbered JavaScript's access to form elements by name. I had to do some ugly form.elements[x] looping to get at the "myvar[]" control.
This kind on external language hostility is not that cool, especially toward such a common language as JavaScript.
My apologies to PHP if the language provides a workaround :)
