    how to get multiple=multiple values from an optgroup ?

    hey there all,

    i have an html page that uses a select element with optgroups. I want
    multiple="multi ple"
    but when i pass it to the php script, i do not know how to get the
    values out.

    like this

    <select name="people" multiple="multi ple" >

    when this is submitted, are they passed as an array?

    thanks

          Change the name to "people[]" - this causes PHP to process it as an array.
          Otherwise you only get one of the selected values.

              well cool.
              Thought (hoped) it would be something that simple.

              cheers guys, and thanks for the help
