Passing Arrays

[Anon]

I have a list box on a form which called $selectedcustomers[].

The list box is populated but when the page is submitted, when taking a count it returns zero.

The list is populated using a bit of PHP taking data from a MySQL table. The values do appear in the list.

Any Ideas?

do you have your tag setup like this?

<select name="selectedcustomers[]">

Yes

                                     <TD WIDTH="186" ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" HEIGHT="1"><SELECT SIZE="10" NAME="selectedcustomers[]" TABINDEX="3" CLASS="MultiList">

<?php

for ($i = 0; $i < count($Customers) - 1; $i++) {
	$CustomerID = $Customers[$i] [0];
	$CustomerName = $Customers[$i] [1];
	echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$CustomerID\">$CustomerName</OPTION>\n";
}

?>

</SELECT></TD>

Thuis should give you a proper array.
Try this at the top of the script that you post this information to:

print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS);
print_r($HTTP_GET_VARS);

that should show you exactly what you are posting to the script.

Hi Vincent

I have tried what you suggested and the array $selectedcustomers[] does not seem to be passed through to the next form.

Any Ideas?

Many Thanks

In that case, are you sure that the selectbox and the submit button are in the same html form?
