Re: [PHP] Select values in an array???

Look, I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything, but you CANNOT select MULTIPLE items from a select element without using "multiple" in the tag. I looked at your link, and it doesn't have any select elements, much less multiple select elements. Prehaps you're confusing checkbox elements with select elements. Take a look here for multiple select elements....

I HAVE selected multiple items without including MULTIPLE.

The following link displays a form in which there are multiple SELECTS with the same name.
Upon processing the form on submit, I do retrieve all selected values, not just the last.
To check for yourself, open the link and view source.

Yes, this page works...

Then you were not able to select multiple values.  If you don't include
the "multiple", it will only allow you to select one value.

I've used it without "multiple" many times

You do if you want to select multiple values from a select element.
Otherwise, you can only select one.

You don't even need the word "multiple"

Change the name of your select field to "select[]"

<select name="whatever[]" multiple>

I am trying to pass the values of a select box which can have more than one
value to a page.

In the address bar of the page i have sent to, I have
select=item1&select=item2select=item3&select=item4select=item5&select=item6

on the page i have
echo $select

but only the last item (item6) is being displayed on the page

how do i create an array of all the items in a list on the page?

any help would be gratefully appreciated
