multiple select in a form
|

| I am running a PHp script to produce an HTML form with a SELECT MULTIPLE
feature.
When I set method = GET and click on the SUBMIT button, the URL of the
call page is:
http://localhost/test/this.php?port...rts=Po&ports=La
which tells me that the four options i selected are indeed being sent.
But when I try to get at the daata, I have a problem. A dump of the
$_GET variable only gives me the last of the four values:
array(1) { ["ports"]=> string(2) "La" }
I added the following in my script:
foreach ($_GET['ports'] as $p)echo $p . "<br>";
All I got was: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ...
Can somebody help me and tell me how to get at the full data sent by the
form ?

The problem is that in input tags you should use name="foo[]" instead of
name="foo"
