count number of select

[benchew0904]

hi, I want to count the total number of multiple select that user has selected instead of getting the value the user has selected How should I go about doing the counting part?

 

<form action="1.php" method="post">
<select name="test[]" multiple="multiple">
<option value="one">one</option>
<option value="two">two</option>
<option value="three">three</option>
<option value="four">four</option>
<option value="five">five</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>


<?php
$test=$_POST['test'];
if ($test){
 foreach ($test as $t){echo 'You selected ',$t,'<br />';}
}
?>

 

[trq]

count($_POST['test']);

[laffin]

echo count($test) .' Item(s) selected';

 

Hahaha, ya beat me to punch thorpe

[benchew0904]

echo count($test) .' Item(s) selected';

 

If I use the above code and if I select 3 options, it will show

3 Item(s) selected3 Item(s) selected3 Item(s) selected

[trq]

Don't put it in the loop then.
