[RESOLVED] multiple select list help

[designxperts]

I have a form that inserts it's values into a table in a mysql database.. i also use another form to edit the contents of that table...

My problem is that i have a multipe select list ... i imploded it's values into the table like this:

$employees = implode(',',$_POST['emp_name']);

that worked fine ...

but i can't figure out how to make the same values selected on my edit form's list????

If I understand correctly, you want to do something like this:

$employees = implode(',',$_POST['emp_name']); 
//
$selected_array = explode(',', $employees);
$select_str = '<select name="my_list" multiple="multiple">'
$query = "SELECT employee FROM my_table";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result));
    $form .= '<option value="' . $row['employee'] . '"';
    if (in_array($row['employee'], $selected_array)) {
        $select_str .= ' selected="selected"';
    }
    $select_str .= '>' . $row['employee'] . '</option>';
}
$select_str .= '</select>';
echo $select_str;
