If you want to allow the user to select multiple items, you should append '[]' to the end of the name of your select. <select name="color[]" size="3" multiple> Now when you get the value, it will be an array of the items they selected. You may run into a problem with your hidden input type on the second page - I'm not sure how PHP will handle things because your value will now be an array. You may want to write out a hidden field for each of the users selections - like: <input type="hidden" name="color[]" value="one"> <input type="hidden" name="color[]" value="two"> <input type="hidden" name="color[]" value="three"> Regards, Sean On Sun, 13 May 2001, Jason Caldwell wrote: > > Thanks. > Jason > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
