Multiple Select List Boxes

[julian9876]

Hello....

I have a form that has a multiple select list box on it...

When i display all the data from the list box, all i get is the number of the option that i have selected.

Does anyone know how to change the value from a number to a name???

This is the listbox:

 

<fieldset>
<legend>Optional extras</legend>
<select class="select" id="extras" name="options[]" multiple="multiple" size="6">
<optgroup label="Entertainment">
<option value="1">6 disc DVD changer</option>
<option value="2">TV function</option>
<option value="3">DAB digital radio</option>
<option value="4">Loudspeaker system - professional </option>
<option value="5" title="Multimedia navigation system. Uses advanced audio technology">Multimedia navigation system</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Communication">
<option value="6">Universal remote control</option>
<option value="7">Voice control</option>
<option value="8">Navigation system</option>
<option value="9">Head-up display</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Safety and Security">
<option value="10">Adaptive headlights</option>
<option value="11">Night vision with pedestrian recognition</option>
<option value="12">Run-flat tyres</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
</fieldset>

{
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($car_extras)) 
{
echo "$val <br>";
}
