using $_POST to access form array elements

tolurene

I have a file say a.php , which is something like :

Now I would like to access these form elements of the "same" name after submitting
the form. Although using javascript I can access these elements using forname.item[index] , but I cant figure out a way to get the values using $_POST in PHP.

please help me , its urgent

thanks

Form element name should be ...[]. If you want to get value in array

<select size="1" class="inputtext" name=[B]"item[]"[/B] > ...</select>

First off your example is not correct with a selection box like

<select name='inputtest'>
<option value='yes'selected='selected'>Yes</option>
<option value='no'>No</option>
<option value='maybe'>Maybe</option>
</select>

Now access the responses by $POST['inputtest'] or $GET['inputtest']

thanks Deep. that worked with PHP (its now accessible with PHP). But I dont know how to access the elements with javascript on samepage. Previously with element names "item" , I used to use "item" (used to work). but now i have tried "item" and "item[]" . none of them worked. ??
