How to pass values?

zzz

If someone selects several values and submits the page, how do I pass these values to page2.php? I is not going work like this, would it?

page1.php

<form method="post" action="page2.php">
	<select name="MyMultipleValues" size="3" multiple>
	<option value="AK">Alaska
	<option value="AL">Alabama
	<option value="AZ">Arizona
	<option value="AR">Arkansas
	<option value="CA">California
	<option value="CO">Colorado
</select>
</form>

page2.php

<?
     echo $MyMultipleValues;
?>

<select name="MyMultipleValues[]" size="3" multiple>
That makes the field an array

This is interesting, I didn't know that... Thanks.

However I've tried it and it doesn't work for me. The problem is I populate this drop-down box dynamically based on a previous selection with JavaScript. When I add [] to the var name it stops working properly.

Is there another idea. Perhaps involving some impload syntax? I desperatelly need ideas.

See now, you can't implode unless it's an array, can you? Sounds like your javascript is whacked if it doesn't work with that. That's also the only way I know to have php recognize the multiple values...

no, weed, the JS is thinking its an array... in JS. which it isnt. so that doesnt work, just something you're going to have to livewith if you go that route.

I decided to use JS because it could populate the next box in real time (user-side vs server-side).

So any other suggestions? There's got to be a solution to pass multiple values to another page.
