Re: Does PHP recognize multiple selections in a form?

<select name="submitID[]" size="5" MULTIPLE>

                     ^^

Then $_POST['submitID'] will be an array with selected options

grrr... I am trying to get several values from a selection form field (using multiple) into PHP. Is this possible? The code I'm using to test this is below. After running the code and selecting more than one field, the last field (the greatest number) is the only one that shows up as the only input from the selection part of the form!! Is there any other way?? thanks, Micah <?php $phpSelf = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; $phpFile = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']; $phpName = 'Multiple Selection Test'; $phpTimeRan = date('H:i.s'); $a='a'; $b='b'; ?> <html> <head><title><?php echo $phpName; ?></title></head> <body> <h2><?php echo $phpName; ?></h2> <i>[<?php echo $phpSelf; ?>] @ <?php echo $phpTimeRan; ?></i> <br><br> <form action="<?php echo $phpSelf; ?>" method="POST"> <table bgcolor="#003300" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="4" bordercolor="#000000" style="color:#ffffff;"> <tr><td>Item</td></tr> <tr> <td><select name="submitID" size="5" MULTIPLE> <?php for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++) { echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>'."\n"; } ?> </select></td> </tr> </table> <br><br> <input type="hidden" name="a" value="<?php echo $a; ?>"> <input type="hidden" name="b" value="<?php echo $b; ?>"> <input type="submit" name="submit"> </form> <?php echo '<textarea readonly rows="12" cols="50" name="NULL">'; var_dump($_POST); echo '</textarea>'; echo '<br><br><hr>'; highlight_file($phpFile); ?> </body> </html>
