This is the correct form: <select multiple type="select" name="choices[]"> <option value="1">Option 1</option> <option value="2">Option 2</option> </select>
When the above is submited, $_POST['choices'] will be an array that contains the selected options. If you have register_globals = On in your php.ini, $choices will also be an array of selected options. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dash McElroy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 11:30 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Handling Multi-Select form lists > > > I have a field like this as well.
