Multiselection Selection list box

[Anon]

I'm trying to get data from a multiselection selection list box. How would PHP take in the get the data from the Form post? Would it be in an array, or some type of string.

Hi.Supose you have this in a form:
<select name=selcolor multi>
<option value=yellow>Yellow</option>
<option value=red>Red</option>
</select>

Now if the both items are selected you will get an array.You can retrive the values like this.

$my_colors=$HTTP_GET_VARS['selcolor'];
if(is_array($my_colors))
{
//enumerate them
foreach($my_colors as $key => $val)
{
echo $key+1." is" $val,"<br>";
}
}
else
{
//we have only one selected
echo "selected one option color :". $my_color;

}
Hope to help.
