Re: php and forms question

Hia Chip, If I were you (but I'm not, thankfully for both of us), I would use a multiple select, and, maybe sessions. I think sessions are better/easier than hidden fields, but only in php4. Multiple selects are nice. They come back as an array, which is pretty easy to deal with by using a loop.
