Clicking on the submit button now produces:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Request Method: POST
Using foreach loop, $_POST array contains:
Array
Using printr, $_POST array contains:

Array
(
    [item] => Array
        (
            [0] => select item 1
        )

)
-------------------------------------------------So what exactly does this
mean?:  $Post is an array thatconsists of one item that is also an array,
that being the "item" array consisting of one entry containing the select
string?If so, can I access the "item" array itself? I tried this in the
script but nothing was echoed:echo $item[0]

No, that's not how it should be coming across. Not unless you modified your original form to send item as an array (like you would do if it was a multi-select). If your HTML form hasn't changed from how you have it below, and 'item' is still coming across as an array, you have a problem sowhere else.



<original form?>
---------------
<html>
<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post" >
  <select name="item" >
    <option value="select item 1" > item 1 </option>
    <option value="select item 2" > item 2 </option>
  </select>
<input type=submit value="Submit">
</form>

<?php
echo "Request Method: ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']."<br />";

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST"):
  echo '$_POST array contains:'."<br />";
  foreach ($_POST as $value) {echo $value."<br />";}
endif;
?></html>
