This is what I am trying:
<select name="($categoriesIN).'[]'" multiple>
<OPTION>Choose Categories...</option>
<OPTION VALUE="1">History
<OPTION VALUE="2">Temples
<OPTION VALUE="3">Pharaohs and Queens
<OPTION VALUE="4">Cleopatra
<OPTION VALUE="5">Mummies
</SELECT>
Whenever something doesn't work for me I always make sure what I am
doing is valid html/xhtml
That doesn't look valid to me - multiple="multiple" might be.
Maybe it is valid under older html.
But anyway, multiple selects are a bad idea because they are confusing
for users, there's no standard way with which to choose them and users
often don't know how - if you can use checkboxes instead.
That being said, I think your problem is the $ and the []
Try
<select name="categoriesIN" multiple="multiple">
Then when processing the form - $_POST['categoriesIN'] will be an array - IE
for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($_POST['categoriesIN']);$i++) {
do_stuff_with($_POST['categoriesIN'][$i]);
}
