Hi folks,
does php 5 have a problem with html select lists which allow to choose
multiple items?
Whatever I tried I just can't get another or more than the last item
selected in the list.
Even if I select multiple items, a print_r($_POST) just shows the last
selected item, and not a array of all selected values.
Thanks very much for every hint,
yours Henri

It's not changed since PHP4 - the trick is to put [] after the name, e.g.
<select multiple='multi ple' name='something[]'>
The [] causes PHP to form an array from the data; without it, the last value
overwrites the previous ones.

Try using name="somevar[]" - certainly with checkboxes, this populates
multiple values into the array, should work with select lists too...

Besides the recommendations of Andy and Matt, you can also enable the
always_populate _raw_post_data directive in your php.ini file.
After doing this, you can use your selects as before and will find the
posted data in the $HTTP_RAW_POST_ DATA variable in the following format:
sel=A&sel=B&sel =C

Hello,
I have a form with multiple selects (pullDown). All selects have the
same name but each select has a different value. The user selects a
value in each select. When he submits the form I want to put te values
of the selects in a database so that the value of each select is added
to a table and the option te user selected in that select in another
table.

I am building an app using php and postgresql. My questionis this.
How do you handle people wanting to make parallel changes to a record.
Since in web apps you are doing a select, bring over a record then
updating it, there is no lock on that record while you are making the
changes in your browser window. Does transactions handle that? Do you
make your selection and update all part of the same transaction? This
whole scenario has me...

Hi,
I was thinking of using MSMQ to handling multiple simultaneous
database request to update or insert records to table. There could be
hundreds of database existing connections trying to access the same
table. I was thinking to writing an app with threads to listen and 1
at a time handle each request on the queue.
Is this a good approach? If not, is there a better way with .NET/C#?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
