POST and multiple select

[Bert Apperlo]

Hi,

How can I send all selections made in a multiple select box?

Example:
I made a multiple selection box which has 9 values (1 to 9). I select a
couple of values (e.g. 1,4,9,5 and in the order I mention). When I submit
the form and I display the content of the POST variable (through php), I
see that only the 9 is returned.

How can I make it that every selected item is returned?

You'll have to append '[]' to the name of the SELECT element. Then the
variable in $_POST will be an array with all selected values.

They already *are* being sent. Your problem, as B.N has shown,
is that you aren't asking for them properly. And this will be the
same for all other multi-valued form submission data.
