 |
|
| When I create a HTML multiple select box the return value in PHP is only a single item not an array as I would expect. |

In order to get an array back from the multiple select box in PHP, you have to put array brackets at the end of the select box name. If you don’t, PHP will only populate the $_POST entry with the last element selected.
HTML
| Code: |
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
<select name="test[]" multiple="multiple">
<option value="one">one</option>
<option value="two">two</option>
<option value="three">three</option>
<option value="four">four</option>
<option value="five">five</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
|
PHP
| Code: |
<?php
$test=$_POST['test'];
if ($test){
foreach ($test as $t){echo 'You selected ',$t,'<br />';}
}
?>
