looping through dropdown list problem

[helloise]

how come the lines:

PHP Code:

                echo $form['catcher_id'];

                 

                  $catcher_names =  $form['catcher_id']                   

                  foreach($catcher_names as $val)

                  {

                      echo "testing loop";

                  }

produce nothing?? its not doing the foreach.

$form['catcher_id']; is a dropdown list containing catcher names

please help?

thanks

My first guess would be that $form['catcher_id'] might not be an array. What is the output of var_dump($form['catcher_id']); ?

[helloise]

$form['catcher_id'] gives me a dropdown list

 

for the var_dump: how do i code this to see??

 

echo var_dump($form['catcher_id'])???

sorry me very new

When you submit a dropdown list on a form it will only send the selected value, so just one value, not the entire list.
