A php form contains a listbox (named foolist) with n Items which can be multiple selected and form posted to results.php how can results.php determine which items were selected in order to add all the items in a Mysql table ???You can define each <option> in a listbox with an array element as its value. Like so: <select name="listbox"> <option value="var[0]">Item 1</option> <option value="var[1]">Item 2</option> <option value="var[2]">Item 3</option> </select> That's one way to do it. Personally, if I'm populating a listbox with results returned from a SQL query, I use the primary key of the record as the "value" attribute in <option>.
