passing multiple vars?

Hello everyone-- Okay well I have a slight problem. I have a database of books with the fields of: Book_ID Title Description What I am trying to do is be able to delete multiple entries at the same time. I have my SQL statement print out all the book id's and book titles in a multiple select menu in the browser and then I press the "Delete Book" button at the bottom of the page. Here's the problem: how do I retireve all the book id's that I have selected from the previous page? After I press the "Delete Book" button it only passes one of the book id's instead of multiple id's. I really want to use the <select><option> tags and not something like checkboxes because I don't want hundreds of book titles printed to the screen and have the user scroll down a huge page to check the boxes of which books he/she wants to delete. Anyway, any ideas on how I can pass all the values that I select on to the next page? Here's a snippet of the form code I am using: echo "<select name=\"bookID\" size=\"10\" multiple>\n"; for ($i=0; $i<$maxArraySize; $i++) { echo "<option value=\"".$book["BOOK_ID"][$i]."\">".$book["TITLE"][$i])." </option>\n"; } //end of for echo "</select>\n"; thanks, jay
