RE: [PHP] HTTP_POST_VARS problem

Make the name of the select an array e.g. <select name='selection[]' ... then ... foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS["selection"] as $selection) Tim www.chessish.com <http://www.chessish.com> ---------- From: ejfs@sympatico.ca [SMTP:ejfs@sympatico.ca] Sent: 08 February 2002 02:47 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] HTTP_POST_VARS problem Please ignore my question - I just figured it out. I had the method="post" in the input type="submit" tag rather than in the form tag. It works! However, if one has an HTML select/option menu scrolling list with multiple selections, how does one get the number of values for the same name with HTTP_POST_VARS? Or how does one scroll through the list of choices passed? Thanks, Eurico ejfs@sympatico.ca wrote: > Hi.
