Hi all, I'm afraid I'm a PHP newbie. I've got some WEB/database tasks to do. I usually use perl, but I thought I'd take PHP out for a spin and see how I like it. I need to retrieve all the selected values between the <SELECT MULTIPLE> and </SELECT> tags. There can be from 1 to 16 <OPTION> tags depending on the data retrieved from the database. The user then selects one or more of the options. CGI.pm (perl) simply returns all the selected items in a single array. I assumed PHP did the same thing, but what it appears to do is return only the last item selected. How do I get all the items? -- Rob
