Using PHP, I had some fields that are multiple selection lists and therefore the use of the arrays within the HTML form is recommended - i.e. name="pets[]" instead of just name="pets" within the HTML <select....>*. The problem is that the value appears as "Array". foreach($_POST as $key=>$this) { $$key = htmlentities(stripslashes($this),ENT_QUOTES); // handle quotes for subsequent SQL INSERT if($$key == "Array") { // convert multiple selection array as csv string $this = implode(', ',$_POST[$key]); $$key = $this; // assumes clean characters in selection } } Alan Dougall www.startatthecross.net
