Ah, I was thinking of a standard non-multiple SELECT tag where it isn't possible not to have a value. For a select multiple, it obviously is. And your browser doesn't actually send anything if you don't select a value. PHP has no way of knowing that this select field is present, so the behaviour is quite correct. -Rasmus
