Re: Retrieving data from multiple select list

Yeah I saw this in the online manual but is there any other way of doing this that doesn't require naming the select box in HTML with a [] at the end? Cause I have another button that calls a JavaScript to select all the options within CategoryID[] and it doesn't seem to work cause it's looking for a CategoryID[] array instead of a select box named CategoryID[]. -Ben P.S. Please send responses directly to my email address as well since I'm in digest mode. Thanks. At 10:05 AM +0100 3/11/01, Edi Murfy wrote:

I have a select box that allows the user to select and submit more than one selection at a time. How do I retrieve all the selections in PHP? For example, the select list is named CategoryID. But when I select more than one item and then hit submit, $CategoryID only shows me the last value of the selected items. How do I see all the

values that have been selected?
