How to get data from <SELECT> ?

[Anon]

I use HTML tag like <SELECT name="user" multiple> but I don't know how to get multiple data. I try to do " echo $user; " but only last data is printed. Then, I try " echo $user[0] " but only first character of last data is printed. How could I get multiple data from <SELECT multiple> tag in php ?

On the select name append it such as:

name="user"

changes to:

name="user[]"

Use either var_dump() or print_r() on $user to see if data is successfully being submitted.

If it is then get rid of the var_dump/print_r execution, and you're all set.

As said by Plutarck use make change as

<select mae=user[ ] multiple>
|---
</select>

then use this thing

foreach ($user as $show_key => $show_value) {
echo "$show_value <br>";
}

this shall give u the values on new lines

enjoy

cheers :-)
