i have a javascript on my page that is supposed to work tigether with a php function - but doesn't.

i need help from an expert.

i have a multi select on my page and a form that sends the items in the select to a php form page. the php form page is supposed to print ALL the items selected in the multi select, but it only prints the last item, no matter what i do.

how can i solve this?

please download the included attatchment containing the two files so u can try it out, open the "multiselect.php" file first.


thanks

You need to name your multi select list with [] after it example:

<select name="MyList[]" size="3" multiple>
<option value="One">1</option>
<option value="Two">2</option>
<option value="Three">3</option>
</select>

Then when you submit the form to process the values that are selected...


//$_POST[MyList] will be an array containing all the values selected by the user.

foreach( $_POST[MyList] as $val ){
mysql_query( "INSERT tbl_Temp SET Value = '$val' ");
}

thanks

everyone tells me i need to put [] in the select name, and i have tried it. the problem is that this causes the javascript to fail. i have also tried putting in [] in the javascript but it wasn't working.

if you, or anyone else, have a solution that works with the code i supplied in the attatchment, i'd be very happy!
