Retrieving Contents of Select List on Form Submit

[Bruce]

On an HTML form, I have a select list that is fed dynamically with
detail records when the master record is displayed on the form.

There is also a second lookup list, and want to allow the user to
dynamically select from this list and add to the first list. I also
want the user to be able to dynamically remove from and reorder the
first list. I think I can do all of this with JavaScript.

The question I have, is how can I retrieve the contents of the first
list when the user submits the form? I need to get it back into a php
array so I can update and add the proper database records.

As far as I know, (and maybe, HOPEFULLY :-)) someone will correct me,
but the way to do that in PHP is to use NAME="VARNAME[]" in your HTML.
(personally I don't really care for that approach, but aside from
parsing the urlencoded data manually, I don't know of any other way)
