dealing with multiple select boxes and $_POST

ok folks, grabbing stuff out of $_POST and then I come to the multiple select boxes I have

In the array for $_POST it just says Select as the key and no as the value (the value of the last select) my question is how the heck do I get the rest? I thought that the value might return as an array so I tried to print_r that, got nothing useful.

So how do I pull the select values out of the $_POST????

You can name each select box:

<SELECT name="something">
<OPTION value="yes">Yes</OPTION>
<OPTION value="no">No</OPTION
</SELECT>

you would then address that select box as $_POST['something']

You can also try naming them as an array, I haven't tried it but it should work:

<SELECT name="something[]">
<OPTION value="yes">Yes</OPTION>
<OPTION value="no">No</OPTION
</SELECT>
<SELECT name="something[]">
<OPTION value="yes">Yes</OPTION>
<OPTION value="no">No</OPTION
</SELECT>

you should then be able to loop through:

foreach($_POST['something'] as $something) {
echo $something;
}

DOH!!!!

you know the only time I get to code is a time when sadly I am constantly interrupted.

I thought I WAS naming my selects with the field name but sadly I was just calling them all Select.

I am sorry I didn't see this sooner.

Thanks for helping me spot my mistake.
