Multiple Select Entry

[Anon]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help out with this. Anything would be greatly appreciated. In an HTML form say you had something like this:

<FORM ACTION=test.php>
<SELECT NAME=blah SIZE=3 MULTIPLE>
<OPTION VALUE=0>blah0
<OPTION VALUE=1>blah1
<OPTION VALUE=2>blah2
<OPTION VALUE=3>blah3
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE=submit>
</FORM>

This form enables you to select multiple options in the form by holding the CTRL button. But in test.php only the last option you select is passed. So if I selected blah0 and blah2. Only 2 gets passed as $blah. I know in ASP it builds an array, but $blah[0] doesn't work.

<SELECT NAME=blah[] SIZE=3 MULTIPLE>

you need the [] in multiple select.

hope this helps...

Is there a version of this that works in php3? This isn't working for me. Do I need to manually define an array elsewhere?

<form action="display.php3" method="post">
<select name=Style[] size=3 MULTIPLE>
<option value=1>White
<option value=2>Red
<option value=3>Blue
<option value=4>Green
</select>
<input type=submit name="submit">
</form>

I have PHP 4, but it wasnt working for me until I put quotes around the name of the select box i.e.

<form action="display.php3" method="post">
<select name="Style[]" size=3 MULTIPLE>
<option value=1>White
<option value=2>Red
<option value=3>Blue
<option value=4>Green
</select>
<input type=submit name="submit">
</form>

Hope this helps in PHP 3
