Question

I am using the Select->DropDownCheckList from http://dropdown-check-list.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/demo.html… with a PHP back end…

This checklist submits (on form post) each selection as an individual variable, so for example:

brand=Apple
brand=Microsoft
brand=Google

And when doing $_POST[“brand”] in php I only get 1 of them, not all three… is there a way I can iterate through these items or some other way to access them? Alternatively does anyone know how to change the jquery plugin above to send back in the form brand=Apple,Microsoft,Google…?

Thanks

Answer 1

name the form field name='myformfield[]' rather than name='myformfield' in your HTML. The [] tells PHP that the field is an array.
