UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting using a multiple select drop-down list

If I have a multiple-select drop down list box in my page, and I submit it to a script, how do I get all the selections assigned to an array or a variable with delimiters?

Thanks anyone who can help

Well I'll show you the way I do it in CGI.pm

use CGI;
my $obj = new CGI;

@names = $obj->param();
undef my $form;
for (@names) {
($name,$value) = split(/=/, $_);
if ($name eq 'select box name') {
push(@array name,$obj->param($_));
} else {
$form{$_} = $obj->param($_);
}
}

the things I've highlighted in bold you might want to change. What it does will check for your select box name. If it finds it, it will put all selections into an array. If it does not find the select box name it will put those values into this:

$form{'form input name'}
