Re: help with form design

If the options are always going to the same you can just create a multiple select box in your form ie. <select name="select" size="1" multiple> <option value="option 1">option 1</option> <option value="option 2">option 2</option> </select> and pass the $select as an array. I'm not sure if you have to alter something in this you may have to search the archives. I've never had the need to use it. If you're using the form in various places and it will change you can create a table with the options then do a query and output the results into a select box like above or just make it into a function. remember to hold control when selecting more than one box.
