Re: [PHP] Using SELECT and MULTIPLE in a form
Put empty square brackets (NAME='in_task_descr[]') after the name of
your select element. Then all the slections will be in an array called...
$_POST['in_task_descr'] or
$_GET['in_task_descr']
Depending on your form method.

This seems to work, but when my php script is called, all I see is
the last data value assigned to the variable. I could use a pointer.
Here is a code snippet:
echo "\n";
echo " Task Description\n";
echo " \n";
for ($j = 0; $j < $tskcount; $j++) {
echo "$taskdescr[$j]\n";
}
echo " \n";
echo " \n";
echo "\n\n";
The above code adds a list to the form and the user can highlight more than one
entry.
How do I access the data after the user presses submit?

[PHP] Using SELECT and MULTIPLE in a form
I am displaying a form using values obtained from a database query.
One of the elements contains about 20 different values. I want the
use to be able to select multiple values before pressing submit.
This seems to work, but when my php script is called, all I see is
the last data value assigned to the variable. I could use a pointer.
Here is a code snippet:
echo "\n";
echo " Task Description\n";
echo " \n";
for ($j = 0; $j < $tskcount; $j++) {
echo "$taskdescr[$j]\n";
}
echo " \n";
echo " \n";
echo "\n\n";
The above code adds a list to the form and the user can highlight more than one
entry.
How do I access the data after the user presses submit?
