Get all (selected or unselected) items in a multiple select box

[samvb]

Hi,

is there anyway to get all items in a multiple select box using php? I use javascript to populate the select box but i don't want the visitor/user to select everytime he had added before clicking the "Process" selected items button. Hopefully someone will direct me to a php solution here.

There is, but it is a bit of fiddling. Basically you want to write some javascript which will do that as it populates the select box.

I recommend what you do is print out a javascript array using PHP, and then have the javascript use that array to check if it needs to add HTML to say selected to the select box.
