Retrieve HTML array created from a list box

[aktar]

Hey folks, I was expecting an array to be returned with the following code for a multi-select dropdown list but I get single values. Can anyone help?

<?php
 
    if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
 
        print_r($_POST);    
 
    }
 
?>
 
 
<form method='post' >
 
    <select name="time" size=3 multiple>
        <option value="Morning">Morning</option>
        <option value="Day">Day</option>
        <option value="Night">Night</option>
    </select>
 
    <input type="submit" name='submit' value="submit" />
 
</form>

Hey.

If you want PHP to receive an array from a form, the <input> element(s) must end with [] brackets - in much the same manner you would use them with PHP variables.

In your case:

<select name="time[]" size=3 multiple>
