You can send form elements as arrays in PHP:
<http://au.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.arrays>

So:

<select name="foo[]" multiple="multiple">
 <option value="1">One</option>
 <option value="2">Two</option>
 <option value="3">Three</option>
</select>

Would translate into this in PHP if you selected 'One' and 'Three':

$_POST['foo'][0] = 1;
$_POST['foo'][1] = 3;
