Multiple selection in list/menu object

[ilmus]

Hi all,

I'm using a list/menu object to allow user to make multiple selections. From the user's point of view it works fine, but when the form is submitted i receive only one item from the selection. Following is the url for the form in question http://www.isgozo.com/estate.htm

Any ideas how i can receive multiple selections?

The values are send, so that I guess that your server-side application has to be verified.

Or, if this is php, I guess that you should specify in the element's name that it will send an array (name="myselect[]")

I tried Kor's solution but i'm not sure if i used the array correctly...instead of the selections made i'm getting Array...following is the code i used before:<SELECT name=state size=3 multiple class=body id="state">
<option value="any">Any State</option>
<option value="converted">Converted</option>
<option value="finished">Finished</option>
<option value="furnished">Furnished</option>
<option value="onplan">On Plan</option>
<option value="shell">Shell</option>
<option value="unconverted">Unconverted</option>
</SELECT>

the code i'm using now:
<SELECT name="state[]" size=3 multiple class=body id="state">
<option value="any">Any State</option>
<option value="converted">Converted</option>
<option value="finished">Finished</option>
<option value="furnished">Furnished</option>
<option value="onplan">On Plan</option>
<option value="shell">Shell</option>
<option value="unconverted">Unconverted</option>
</SELECT>

can someone please point out what i'm doing wrong?

It's ok so far, but you must extract now the values upon their index. See also
