[SOLVED] Getting All Select Box Values

[Gafaddict]

Hey all --

 

I'm running into a problem with a select box. Its values in PHP are not properly parsed.

 

<select name="frm_owners" size="10">
    <option value="1">Apples</option>
    <option value="2">Oranges</option>
</select>

 

Now, if I were to select both options and then output $_POST[frm_owners] on another page, all I would get is "2." But I'm looking for a comma-seperated value like "1,2." Any ideas?

 

I thought this would be a fairly common question--funny I haven't found any related threads on the board.

 

Thanks in advance.

Try changing the frm_owners to frm_owners[]

Brilliant! That turned it into an array, so I used foreach to compile a final variable. Thanks a lot

Just out of curiosity... when you do it this way how do you access the controls via Javascript?

 

document.getElementById('frm_owners[]').value or something? How does that work? I've not tried it but I suspect it breaks or something, I dunno.
