[PHP-DB] Passing multiple form variable in PHP

[Stephen Rhodes]

HELLO - this is probably a simple problem !!

Wanting to use select multiple ...  in a html form and pass multiple value
into a php variable but does
not work. I only get a single value. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong
?

Does the multiple value get passed correctly in php 

if ($task==check)
{
 printf($icon);
}
else
{
 print 'form name=sqlform method=post action=test.php?task=check
 font class=look2Multiple Check:/font
select multiple name=icon
 option value=falseFalse/option
 option value=trueTrue/option
   /selectbrbr
   input type=submit name=submit value=Submit border=0/form';
}

Thanks
Steve R

You're not telling PHP to expect multiple values -- this is done by putting array 
brackets [] on the end of the field name.

Yes.

 select multiple name=icon

Needs to be:

  select multiple name=icon[]

and $_POST['icon'] will be an array of the selected values.

Cheers!

[Jeffrey_N_Dyke]

using the [] makes your variable an array when it comes into php.
 **snip**
 else
{
 print 'form name=sqlform method=post action=test.php?task=check
 font class=look2Multiple Check:/font
   select multiple name=icon[]
option value=falseFalse/option
option value=trueTrue/option
   /selectbrbr
   input type=submit name=submit value=Submit border=0/form';
}
**snip**
