Now, use SELECT is simple enough. The Select Name gives a value, the one you selected of course...

However, I yet have to find a way to actually determine how I could fetch i.e. the results from a SELECT multiple-choice menu. What if I want the website visitor to choose from multiple values, and read them in a PHP script after the form is submitted?

Suggestions or ideas of how to solve this?

I figured this is probably a very easy task, but I've done a couple attempts, and yet unsuccessful... I can make and read the values of multiple checkboxes, but I cant figure out how to do this with a select ...

Best regards,

This question was just asked a few hours ago, on this very list (not to mention the few times a week). Anyway, since the list archives /must/ be broken....


<select name="whatever[]" multiple>
        <option value="thisValue" />Choose
        .....
        <option value="thatValue" />Choice
</select>

Now, putting the square brackets after the name of your form element, will pass the results as an array, which will now be available to your php script as....

$_POST['whatever']

It will be an array, even if only one option is selected, so please treat as such.
