R: multiple selections in list/menu field

i don't know if it will work, but try to use x[rec_pd4][] as select name and remember that x[rec_pd4] will result as an array, not a string!! instead of ==, you can use the in_array function to check if a value is in the array... ---------------------------- Federico flagzenNO-SPAM@libero.it ---------------------------- Tom Beidler <tom@orbittechservices.com> wrote in message B7C7EE59.2C7A%tom@orbittechservices.com... > I'm trying to use a list/menu field with multiple options allowed but I'm > only getting the very last selection. > > Here's part of my code to build the list/menu field; > > print (" <td><select name=\"x[rec_pd4]\" multiple > size=\"15\">\n"); > print ("$option_pd4"); > print (" </select></td>\n"); > > Here's the code to build the options; > > $pd4arry = array(array("c1,","Bookpacks & > Daypacks"),array("c2,","Mini > Packs/Diaper Bag"),array("c3,","Shoulder Bags/Briefcase")); > foreach($pd4arry as $value) { > > if (($value[0] == $category_code) || ($value[0] == $x[rec_pd4])) { > $option_pd4 .= " <option > value=\"$value[0]\"selected>$value[1]</option>\n"; > } else { > $option_pd4 .= " <option > value=\"$value[0]\">$value[1]</option>\n"; > } > } > > The field displays fine but I only get the last option.
