submit multiple values from a list box PHP

[DennisMcDougall]

Can any one tell me how to submit multiple values from a list box? I believe it
has something to do with Arrays or Loops but i'm not sure. this is this list
box code. As you can see it is populated by the products database. Could
somebody show me what the array loop thing is supposed to look like. So this
list box submits multiple values. At the moment when you submit the form all
that is entered into the database is the word Array not the values of the list
box. Do I need to change the setting in the mySQL datbase. At the moment the
field it is entered into is Text. <select name='vehicle_type[]' size='20'
multiple> <?php do { ?> <option value='<?php echo
$row_rsProducts['vehicle_type']?>' ><?php echo
$row_rsProducts['vehicle_type']?></option> <?php } while ($row_rsProducts =
mysql_fetch_assoc($rsProducts)); ?></select> much appreciated Thank you :0)

Normally you'd access this via $_POST['vehicle_type'] but because there is more
than one value $_POST['vehicle_type'] is an array. if you do a
print_r($_POST['vehicle_type']) you will see all your selected values inside.
What you do with them depends on what you need them for.
foreach($_POST['vehicle_type'] as $vehicle_type) { echo $vehicle_type; }
will print them all out. But you can do anything else in place of that echo
statement... Ross

You will find an extension for this purpose in Macromedia Exchange, the name is Multiple Selection
