POST multiple selections
I’m very green when it comes to PHP, but am learning. Anyhow, here is my problem… I have created a simple mail form that sends the posted HTML data to a PHP form which sends it to my email. I’m sure you’re all familiar. My problem is I’ve added a drop down list with multiple selections enabled, but it doesn’t post the all selections only the first one picked. I don’t know what I need to do to get it to post every selection.
