Passing multiple values of a select box to another php page

[shara]

Hello there,

I want to pass multiple values selected in a select box(HTML) to another php page.I tried doing in several ways but of no use.Can anybody please help me with this.

The code i used is in page 1 is:

<td align="left">
      <select multiple name='srtestrun[]' style='width:300px;' size='10' >
 
<?php
 
  if($srproject != 0 && $srproject > 0)
  {    $sql = "SELECT TR.TEST_RUNID, TR.TEST_RUN_NAME 
            FROM TEST_RUN TR, PROJECT_RUN PR 
            WHERE TR.TEST_RUNID = PR.TEST_RUNID 
            AND PR.PROJECTID = ".$srproject."
            ORDER BY TR.TEST_RUN_NAME";
    $smc->query($sql) or die("<h4>Error in <br><br>".$sql."</h4>");
    $TR=$smc->result;
   for($i=0; $i < sizeof($TR); $i++)
    {    echo "<option value=\"".$TR[$i][0]."\">".$TR[$i][1]."</option>";
    }
  }
 
            ?>
       </select>
        </td>
 

The code in page 2 to retrieve these values is:

$srtestrun = $_POST['srtestrun'];
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($srtestrun); $i++) {
   echo $srtestrun[$i];
}
 

But i am not able to get anything.If i am trying without using "$_POST" i am able to retrieve the last value i selected in the select box.

Thanks in Advance,
Shara.

Hi,
You can do it this way, Once all the stuff is selected from the select box, you can use the implode function to fetch it into a variable. You can use comma as the delimiter.
Lets say you have a submit button that you use to submit your form, then the code in the second page could be like this,

<?php 
$var = implode(",","srtestrun");
?>

there you have all the variables, Now to display them,

<?php 
$var_display = explode(",",$var);
?>

Hope this helps you.

I do it this way:

$option = $_POST['frm_company_address_book_cbo'];
foreach ($option as $selected)
etc.
etc.
