javascript generated new option's value not passing on form submit

[edal11]

Hi, need some help here please.

I have an html form with 1 selectbox:

<select name="users[]" size="15" multiple>
<option value="1">Gabriel</option>
<option value="2">David</option>
<option value="3">Edgard</option>
<option value="4">Daniel</option>
</select>

and a second empty select box:

<select name="users2[]" size="15" multiple>
</select>

I've made a button that calls a javascript function that adds selected users in selectbox number 1 to selectbox number 2.

The problem is that when I submit the form, $_POST['users2[]'] is empty! 😕

How can I get all the new options I added to selectbox users2[] get passed on form submit?

Thanks in advance!

it should be $_POST['users2'], provided your javascript works right.

Thanks for your reply LordShryku!

If I use $_POST['users2'] the values won't get passed either. I'm using a multiple selections selectbox.

When you use multiple selections selectboxes, in order to get all the selected options values, you have to use $POST['users2[]'], that way $POST['users2[]'] will be an array containing all options.

It must be something else.... do you have any other ideas?

Please correct me if I'm wrong in my last post

No, when I use multiple selection selectboxes, $POST['users2'] will be my array of contents, and you can loop through them like this

for($i=0;$i<count($_POST['users2']);$i++) {
   echo $_POST['users2'][$i];
}

I tried your code, and indeed you were right 🙂
It works now!
Thanks!
