RE: [PHP] using html select as array

Dame thing, no? Your <SELECT name="language[]">. You can see all those selected as an array. Now, add the text type and call it something different (ie; custom_lang). In the page, <? If(strlen($_GET['custom_lang'])) { // do insert of this } else { // loop the $_GET['Language'] and create your select. } Alternatively, you can ALWYS do this second condition, just override about the language[] if custom_lang is set. If(strlen($_GET['custom_lang'])) { ($_GET['Language'] = Array($_GET['custom_lang']); } // loop the language[] and create your select. ?> Sincerely, Maxim Maletsky Founder, Chief Developer www.PHPBeginner.com // where PHP Begins > -----Original Message----- > From: Rodrigo Peres [mailto:rperes@mac.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 8:22 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] using html select as array > > Hi list, > > In my system I have multiples choices of language that user selects > using drop down menus.
