1. Make sure you defined the form element in your HTML as "interest[]" and
not "interest".
2. Test to see that it's an array before trying to run loop through it,
because if the user doesn't select anything, you won't get an array, and
therefore referring to to the variable as one would be an error.
if (is_array($HTTP_POST_VARS['interest']))
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS['interest'] as $item)
echo strip_tags(trim($item)) . ' ';
