Multiple selection using php w/ javascript

[NourB]

I hope someone can help here;
I have two lists, with multiple selection, say one is employees and the other is called members, when names are moved from employees into the other list box they become members of a team.
the names of these members are to be inserted into the database, my problem is that the members are supposed to be stored in a javascript array and read by the php script to be saved in the database, when this is done only the first element of the array is saved.....Please help;
Thanks

Set the name of your select to "varname[]" (note the brackets):

<select name="mySet[]" multiple="multiple">
    <option value="1">one</option>
    etc.
</select>
 

For a working example, take a look at this page.

Greetings;
Thanks for the help, but thats not quite what i'm looking for.
Inorder to move the names between the two lists i use a javascript function, after that i want to save the content of the second list in the db, but since its more than one item i would need to put them into an array....
here is a snippet of the code

 
 <select size=8 name=employees  style='width: 250;' dir=rtl multiple='yes'>
                    <option value=0></option>
                    </select>
                    </td>
                    <td bgcolor=$color4 align=center>
                    <input type=button value='>'  name=1 style='width: 70;' onclick='return nameXchange(document.meetings_frm.employees,document.meetings_frm.members[]);' ><br>
                    <input type=button value='<'  name=1 style='width: 70;' onclick='return nameXchange(document.meetings_frm.members[],document.meetings_frm.employees);'><br>
                    </td>
                    <td bgcolor=$color4 align=right>
                    <select size=8 name=members[]  style='width: 250;' dir=rtl multiple='yes'>
                    </select>
