Array problem - not seeing all selections.

[towntopic]

I didn't want to have to ask this but I can't seem to get it working. I'm really new to PHP and have run into a problem. I have a form with a multiple select that is only passing the last value through. I searched through this forum and found some info, but I still haven't resolved it. Here's what I have in the form.

<select name="24x7Thoughts[]" multiple>
<option selected>- Select Option(s) -</option>
<option>Option A</option>
<option>Option B</option>
<option>Option C</option>
<option>Option D</option>
</select>


Then on the script I have...

$TwentyFourThoughts = $HTTP_POST_VARS['24x7Thoughts'];

and then later...
$mailcontent = $mailcontent."TWENTY FOUR SEVEN SUPPORT\n\n"
." ".$TwentyFour.", ".$TwentyFourExtra.", ".$TwentyFourThoughts."\n\n";

I apologize in advance if this is a really easy fix. Thanks for any help.

When a user's selections from that form are transmitted to the server, $_POST['24x7Thoughts'] will itself be an array.

Your code doesn't seem to account for that.

Make use of foreach loop to parse thru the array and make a string to collect all the values selected.

$TwentyFourThoughts = "" ;
foreach ( $HTTP_POST_VARS["24x7Thoughts"] as $options ) {
   $TwentyFourThoughts .= $options."," ;
}

$TwentyFourThoughts = substr( $TwentyFourThoughts,0,strlen($TwentyFourThoughts) - 1 ) ;
