multi-select, not allowing multi?

[youradds]

I'm having a bit of a weird problem here. I have a select box (below);

        <select multiple size=&quot;10&quot; name=&quot;user_to_import&quot;>
        <option value=&quot;John:::Webb&quot;>John Webb</option>
        <option value=&quot;Paul:::Boemont&quot;>Paul Boemont</option>
        </select>

.. but when you select both these users, the data is passed on like;

index.php?action=guest_list_import_do&user_to_import=John%3A%3A%3AWebb&user_to_import=Paul%3A%3A%3ABoemont

Note: %3A is equal to : , so %3A%3A%3A equals :::

If I do the following therefore;

<?php

global $user_to_import;

foreach ($user_to_import as $_line) {

   echo &quot;User: $_line <BR>&quot;;

}

?>

That just prints out a parse error (invalid argument for foreach). Why is it not being assigned correctly to $user_to_import (i.e as an array) ???

I'm stumpred

Cheers

You need to add square brackets to send the multi-select to PHP via POST.

<select multiple size=&quot;10&quot; name=&quot;user_to_import

[]

">

I would advise to use POST as method and insepct the passed vars in the script it posts to with print_r($_POST);
