[SOLVED] A list/menu menu is not carrying all values selected

[JPark]

This should be easy but it's driving me CRAZY!  All I want is two list/menus where the customer can select one or more options (using Cntl).

 

For some reason, I cannot get all of the values to be sent to the entry page.  If I select 3 states, I only get the last one.  (If I use checkboxes though, I can get all the values; of course, I don't want checkboxes...  grrr).

 

Here is a tiny bit of my code:

<select name="states" size="10" multiple="yes">
<option value="Alabama" name="states[]">Alabama</option>
<option value="Alaska" name="states[]">Alaska</option>
<option value="Arizona" name="states[]">Arizona</option>
<option value="Arkansas" name="states[]">Arkansas</option>
<option value="California" name="states[]">California</option>
</select>

 

And then on the entry page, I have tried print_r ($_POST['states']); or echo $_POST['states'];, expecting to see "array".  All I get is the last value.

 

What am I missing??

 

Thanks!
