Multiple Select Dropdown w/ ()mail

[Anon]

I believe there is a fairly simple solution to this question - I just seem to be blanking out or lost to what the correct syntax is for the coding:

I have a page containing a submit form that dumps into a ()mail function that sends to my e-mail address. It works fine except for one field which is a dropdown list where I allow the user to CTRL select multiple selections from the list:

...
<select name="app_pos" size="5" multiple>
<option>Choice 1</option>
<option>Choice 2</option>
<option>Choice 3</option>
<option>Choice 4</option>
<option>Choice 5</option>
<option>Choice 6</option>
</select>
...

The problem is that when multiple choices are selected and the form is submitted to the ()mail function and mailed, the result only diplays the last choice selected. Here is a stripped down example of how the variable is used in the php script:

...
<?php

$FHeaders="From: $app_name <$app_email>";

$FMessage="The following information was submitted:\nSelections Chosen: $app_pos";

$FSubject="Selections";

mail("[e-mail]", $FSubject, $FMessage, $FHeaders);

?>
...

Where am I going wrong with this code? I have seen some usage of arrays in other examples but can't seem to figure out how to pass them thru the ()mail function. Rather than only seeing the last choice selected, I obviously want to see all the choices. Do I need to call out the field in another way in the ()mail function? Do I need to place some []'s and if so, where? Any help is appreciated.

Rename the select to app_pos[] and loop through the result. each index will hav ea selection they chose in it...

I renamed the select to app_pos[] in the form page but made no changes to the PHP file or the ()mail function.

When I did this, the resulting e-mail, which before was only displaying the last choice made from the mutliple select, now simply displays "Array" and does not display any of the choices made.

Is there any additional changes to be made to the code or is there some change that need to be made when the field is called up in the PHP or ()mail function?

What do you mean by "loop through the result"? Please explain as this is my first attempt with this type of scenario in PHP.

Many thanks.

Right, instead of printing $app_pos you want to do this:

while(list(,$v) = @each($app_post)) {

// do what you want with $v

}
$v will now be the value in the first, second, etc index of the array....
