Question

I have the following in my HTML form, among with other inputs, like <input type="test" name="foo"></input> and others.

<select name="tags" multiple="multiple">
  <option selected="selected" value="hello">hello</option>
  <option selected="selected" value="world">word</option>
</select>

The problem is that when I am using

var_dump($_POST);

the tags returned is a string, and it contains only the last item in the select, like this:

string(5) "world"

Any help?

Your HTML should indicate that it’s submitting an array :

<select name="tags[]" multiple="multiple">

(note the [])
