multiple options in select form element

[Anon]

hello.

im having a problem parsing a users response with a select form element. i have a select form element with "MULTIPLE" set, so that the user can select multiple categories from the select box. the problem im having is that it is being posted to the next page and i dont know how to retrieve the users selection if the user has choosen multiple items. it simply posts the last option selected.

for example, the form data would be "?category=202&category=204&category=209" and therefore $category = 209.

any ideas that would help?

thanks.

Yet Another Multiple Value Form Question.

I'm getting bored with these.

Name the field "category[]" and you get an array $cateogry with the returned valued.

As described in the PHP manual.
