Question

can anyonme give me an idea of how to catch (using PHP) multiple values from a multi ‘selectbox’ please?

<select name="auto_issue_update" multiple>
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
</select>

Answer 1

Make the name have brackets on the end to distinguish it as an array

<select name="auto_issue_update[]" multiple>

Then on the PHP side, you would do something like (if you’re using POST for your form. swap POST for GET if you’re not)

$auto_issue_update = $_POST['auto_issue_update'];
foreach ($auto_issue_update as $a){echo $a.' was selected <br />';}
