Re: [PHP-DB] Passing multiple form variable in PHP
using the [] makes your variable an array when it comes into php.

else
{
print '
Multiple Check:

Subject: [PHP-DB] Passing multiple
form variable in PHP

HELLO - this is probably a simple problem !!
Wanting to use 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 '
Multiple Check:
False
True
';
}
Thanks
Steve R

RE: [PHP-DB] Passing multiple form variable in PHP
I'm pretty sure all you have to do is name your select as an array like so:
Your selected values will come across as an array called $icon.
If you need more info on this and how to use it, there's lots in the
archives. That's where I found the info I needed.
Good luck.

You're not telling PHP to expect multiple values -- this is done by putting array brackets [] on the end of the field name. > > Does the multiple value get passed correctly in php Yes. > Needs to be: and $_POST['icon'] will be an array of the selected values.
