What you are describing is a "2 List Mover". PHP is a server-side language
and as such knows nothing about what is going on on the client. Therefore
you have limited options. My favorite is :
In your form's onSubmit() put code to load all the values into a hidden
field. (Assuming you have defined the hidden field)
<hidden name="StoreStuffhere">
in your JavaScript put things like
document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[1]='Value1'";
document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[2]='Value2'";
document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[3]='Value3'";
Then, when the form is submitted use:
parse_str($_POST['storeStuffHere']);
This will create the array storeStuffHere with the 3 values.

Subject: Re: [PHP] Select multiple boxes
The problem is I have 2 seelect boxes...it's for creating a user and adding
them to a list of available groups...so I have one select box that is
initially empty called memberOf and another box that has all of the
available groups listed in it called availableGroups. I have a script that
can move items back and forth and when the form is submitted I want to be
able to get all the items that are in the memberOf box..anyh ideas on how to
to this? THanks.
