hi,

i want the user to select only five,if more than five are selected it should display message

The current code does db insert on a 1 - 5 selection.
so i understand bettter.
so the max is 5. is there a minimum?
or are you saying the user has to select 5 minimum and 5 max.
if so change
<?php
$mylist=$_POST['mylist'];
if(count($mylist)==5)
{echo 'do db thing here'; print_r($mylist);}
else
{echo 'u must select 5';}
?>
