Set the name of your field in html to be;
name="myselect[]"
that way when the form is returned to you each selected value is returned
to you, for example if you code
$choices = $_POST["myselect"];
choices will be an array containing the actual values selected when the
form is submitted.
hope this is what you were looking for.

this is what I am trying to do:
On a web form I might have a select input with multiple selections
enabled, however I want to have access to the list within PHP after submission.
<select multiple='true' name='myselect'>
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
</select>
so when this is submitted, I can see in the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA that
myselect is submitted twice...
...&myselect=1&myselect=2&...
However, the $_POST array only has the last value eg.
$_POST['myselect'] == '2'
This makes sense because the last value is assigned to the key 'myselect'.
Is there a function or alternate way that will get an array back from the
post-back without parsing through the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA (which is not
always available since the php.ini file can turn it off)?
TIA
