What you are describing is a "2 List Mover". PHP is a server-side language and as such knows nothing about what is going on on the client. Therefore you have limited options. My favorite is :
In your form's onSubmit() put code to load all the values into a hidden field. (Assuming you have defined the hidden field) <hidden name="StoreStuffhere"> in your JavaScript put things like document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[1]='Value1'"; document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[2]='Value2'"; document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[3]='Value3'"; Then, when the form is submitted use: parse_str($_POST['storeStuffHere']); This will create the array storeStuffHere with the 3 values.
