i don't know how to see the values i select in a list form Options

[mobutu_LM2006]

I want to see the values wich i select in a list form.

The code is :
"
<select name="categoria_insert" size="3" id="categoria_insert">
<option>A</option>
<option>B</option>
<option>C</option>
<option>D</option>
<option>E</option>
</select>
"

If i select options 'A' and 'D', for example, the value posted in $_POST['categoria_insert'] when i push the submit button is only 'D', not 'A' and 'D'.

Help me please.
Thank you.

Then I don't think you need a select menu but checkboxes.
See http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/input.html

Hi there

the values will be in an array, try the code below


for($i=0;$i<sizeof($_POST['categoria_insert']);$i++)
{

echo $_POST['categoria_insert'][$i];

}

And the select statement should be as below

<select Name="categoria_insert[]" multiple>

Also, with a MULTIPLE SELECT menu the Windows* user must hold Crtl down while selecting separate items (say item #1 and #3 but not #2). Most likely many users don't know about this functionality (and must be told on the web page).

*Don't know how it's done on a Mac.

*Probably Command (apple key), either side of the spacebar
