Input a array from a form.

[Anon]

Hi,

I've created a form with one multiple select field. (Called: orgaan) But I don't have clue how to get all the values in the script which has to put it in a database. All the single fields are easy (just $this $that $another) But, as I found out (and knew) i didn't work with this field, does anyone know where to find how to do this, or can give an code example?

Thanx in advance,
Gabriel.

You need to throw your multiple select field into an array. This is down by setting the name to "organn[]" Once you've done that you need to look thru that array to put it into the database.

I've found that most times you use a multiple select field your doing a swing table or something like that.

Hope this helps.

are you searching for a similar thing?

<?
if ($submit) {
while($x = each($orgaan))
{
echo "$x[0] => $x[1]<BR>";
}
} else {
echo "
<form method=\"POST\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\">
<select name=\"orgaan[]\" size=\"4\" MULTIPLE>
<option value=\"foo\">foo</option>
<option value=\"bar\" SELECTED>bar</option>
<option value=\"foobar\">foobar</option>
</select>
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"ok\">
</form>
";
}

hope this helps! bye

At the first, I want to thank you for helping me, it's almost it, but what I really want (and I suppose forgot to explain the right way) I want to get them all in 1 string like:
foo, bar, foobar

So I can use that 1 string to put all the data in one field of a dbase table.

If someone could help me in that way, please, (I'm just starting with arrays, so a kind of newbie on that site)

Gabriel.

Sorry for bothering you all,

But I suppose I just putted my question completly wrong... this is the answer to my question:

$nice_string = join(", ", $orgaan);

I found it on usenet,

So, thank you all for helping,

Gabriel.
