.o] Hi Tim!
.o] 
.o] If you want to perform a multiple select on a form like yours, you should 
.o] name it as extras[]. It turns the variable into an array, so you can acess 
.o] them just calling $extras[0] and so.
.o] 
.o] If you call the form simply extras, the variable will be a string, not an 
.o] array. The brackets [] are the point on this subject.
