Sideline comment No big deal.. it did break the "selectALL()" javascript (see point 1 of original post). But that should be a minor issue to fix.

Thanks a million. I appreciate your time. The solution makes perfect sense. Makes me wanna take up line dancing (sometimes).

Thanks for that... Unfortunately it seems there is no array coming through the POST. Only one value instead of 3.... any suggestions on how to get around it?

I will play around further.

Hi,

Just started picking up on PHP (from asp)... Going well. Like php a lot... except for........ My code is below... if someone can please help me get ALL the data from the $POST["catlist"] I would appreciate it.

Firstly: To ensure all the contents of "catlist" are selected, chuck this into the top.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
    function selectAll(box) {
        for(var i=0; i<box.length; i++) {
            box.options[i].selected = true;
        }
    }
</SCRIPT>

Secondly: The form

<form action="this.php" method="post" name=form>
select multiple size="10" name="catlist'>
<option value="3">Painter</option>
<option value="1">Database Designers</option>
<option value="2">Volunteer</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Submit" onClick="selectAll(this.form.catlist);">
</form>

Thirdly: this.php to capture the list into an array like this:

$catarray[0]=3
$catarray[1]=1
$catarray[2]=2

Here is what I have tried: (using php5)

$catarray= ($_POST['catlist']);
$catarray= array($_POST['catlist']);

other variations.

The most confusing is that Count($_POST['catlist']);)=1

Please please help... sob... boo hooo... sob..
My brain hurts....
