Richard,
Many thanks for that.
I was reading about the for statement in a book earlier today and wondered
if I could implement it in some way.
Looks so simple now I've been shown how :)
Thanks again.

first, the select tag in your form should be setup as an array: select
name=country[] ...
then the array $country[] will be available to your script on submittal.
a simple way to build your sql where clause would be to iterate through
the array using a subscript variable:
$sql = select * from tbl where ctry='$country[0]';
for ($n=1; count($country) $n; $n++) {
$sql.= or ctry='$country[$n]';
}

I am designing a ski web site and am presently trying to put together a
resort database. I started the search script tonight and am quite
pleased
that it works. Where I am struggling is that I would like my visitors to
be
able to select multiple countries from the drop down list and for my
query
to pull back info on all those selected. When I try it it only pulls
back
the last one (naturally).
Please advise on what would be the most efficient way of constructing
the
query. Please talk in easy speak as I am real new at this and am not a
developer by any stretch of the imagination.
Many Thanks

Here is a cut down version of my code, the html form is at the bottom.
?php
if ($search) {
$sql = SELECT rst_name, cty_name FROM resort_tbl WHERE
cty_name='$country';
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo centertable border=1\n;
echo trtdName/tdtdCountry/td/tr\n;
do {
printf(trtd%s/tdtd%s/td\n, $row[rst_name],
$row[cty_name]);
} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
echo /table/center\n;
}
}
