Can anyone give me a quick hint for this?
Say, I have: <SELECT NAME="opt3" SIZE="15" multiple>
Then I'd like to list the items selected...
echo $_POST["opt3"];
but this gives only the first one
how do I get the rest?
<SELECT NAME="opt3()" SIZE="15" multiple>
Parenthesis is the point: NAME="opt3()"
Then php knows than an array is coming. This is not because html would
require that, but because php does. This applies not only to select
elements, but checkboxes as well for example. Or sometimes you may want
to
send some array in hidden fields.
eeehhh I tried to play a bit around with this, but do I also need a
trick to read it out?
Well, don't use () in the name, but []...
A little hint for debugging POSTs: echo file_get_contents('php://input')
will give you the raw input.
Example:
------------------
POST:
<?php
var_dump($_POST);
?>
INPUT:
<?php
echo file_get_contents('php://input');
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<select name="check()" multiple>
<option>option 1</option>
<option>option 2</option>
<option>option 3</option>
<option>option 4</option>
<option>option 5</option>
<option>option 6</option>
</select>
<select name="check2[]" multiple>
<option>option q</option>
<option>option e</option>
<option>option r</option>
<option>option t</option>
<option>option y</option>
<option>option u</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
