ok...
it appears to be a case of user err.. the spec seems to state that if the user doesn't select/specify an item, the select should return the 1st item within the list... arrrgggh!! this is what's happening...
Not true. If the user doesn't select anything, nothing will be submitted (unless you have one or more of your option tags like this <option value="bar" selected />)
so my question is still, how can i implement some logic that requires the user to actually select an item? or, how can i detect when a user has actually selected a list item??????
Test to see if anything has been submitted. If your select tag is as such...
<select name="foo[]" multiple>
When you submit the form, you can check it like this...
if ( isset ( $_POST['foo'] ) ) {
//user has selected something
do stuff
} else {
//user did not select anything
do other stuff
