You can address them as an array. Use <SELECT NAME="list[]" MULTIPLE?> <OPTION>Choice1</OPTION> <OPTION>Choice2</OPTION> etc.... The script that receives it will have a $list[] array that you can loop through and process each item. Hope this helps. Jeff Liam Gibbs wrote: > > I'm having a problem with PHP/HTML.
