Hi Adrian
When using multiple select boxes you have to append the name of the select element with [] so PHP know to expect/convert it to an array.
so you example would need to be <select name="dcdrom[]" size="3" multiple id="dcdrom">
$_POST['dcdrom'] will now be an array
Thanks Matt :-)
Having looked over some examples again, I see that now but missed it before! (But you'd be amazed how many typo's there are out there. I don't understand why people don't copy and paste).
It now returns "array" :-)
Many Many thanks :-)
As an aside, I was unable to edit the data via a subroutine, although I was able to show that the correct data was being passed/processed, it just trashed the data, wierd! but if I did the updates in-line no problem! Maybe it has something to do with threads within PHP Version 4.3.3 ? Anyway all fixed now and I'm grinning again :-) Three days messing about, all for a pair of square braces! Kind regards Adrian
