[PHP] Why doesn't this work? Please trouble-shoot my script.
Hi,
Maybe someone can take a look at the script below and tell how to make the
bottom part work
the same way the top part works. The top part (select box) works where the one
item chosen is
written to a hidden file and passed on to the next page, then on and on through
several more
pages and to the last page that emails the chosen items to our marketing dept.
Problem is,
it only allows one choice at a time. I tried it with the multiple option set but
the final form shows
only the last item chosen from the list of multiple items. So I tried with the
checkboxes, but that
doesn't work at all.

}
?
Please choose the brochures you are interested in receiving.

On the checkboxes I had at first specified the name and value fields, but that
didn't work either.
My goal is to have the above list allow multiple choices that are passed to the
next page,
and so on through about 6 pages to the final page. Even better yet would be a
text box where
the end-user could specify a quantity of brochures, for multiple choices, that
would be my
preferred form.
Thankyou for your help,

I tried your suggestion, as you can see from the script below, but it
still does not work, I get the
word 'array' where I should get the selected options.

put square brackets immediately after the name element of your select
and checkbox tags. i.e.:
select name="mySelect[]" multiple="multiple"
checkbox name="myBox[]"
