In $HTTP_POST_VARS this will appear as this array, i.e. pers() To list the values in the multiple select do this: while(list($key,$value) = each(pers)) { echo("$key -> $value"); } or instead of echo you can assign those values newly or store them in a database for example. all the values look something like this in the array pers[0] = 1. multiple select pers[1] = 2. multiple select pers[2] = 3. multiple select pers[3] = 4. multiple select regards, Jens > > Alex
