Getting selected values in multi select comobo box through PHP

Hi,

I have the following HTML code right now.


Code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<td width="20%"><SELECT NAME="cfg_input_global_report_types" MULTIPLE >
<OPTION VALUE="BU" >Option1
<OPTION VALUE="BP" >Option2
<OPTION VALUE="BC" >Option3
<OPTION VALUE="BL" >Option4
<OPTION VALUE="BCC">Option5
</SELECT></td>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The form is submitted using POST method

I know how to use the $_POST php function to get the
"cfg_input_global_report_types" variable

$_POST["cfg_input_global_report_types"]

But I don't know how the selected variables are formatted in the
$_POST["cfg_input_global_report_types"] variable. If anybody could show
me how the selected values are formated in the above variable it would
be great.

Or if this method doesn't work at all or if there is a more easy way,
how can I get the selected values in my multiple select combo box.

Thanx in advance.

Note the "[]" following the name. You then will get the selections in
an array.
