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

MS:
You're not asking for an array, but simply a return of what value
'myselect' is.
If your url is sending "&myselect=1&myselect=2&...", then something
else is wrong.
The following --
$what = $_POST('myselect');
echo($what);
-- should show you what's there.
Also, try print_r($_POST);
I have a very simple exampleof POST/GET at:
