I have this HTML code :
<select name="cars">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="opel">Opel</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
and to make user able to select more than one items, I'm using this jQuery plugin : http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/
but, once it submitted... the PHP script only able to retrieve one of $_POST['cars'] value. the last one. how to make PHP to be able to retrieve ALL of it?
<form method="POST" action="http://the.other.server.com/script.php">
There is no way how to get properties of HTML element by normal HTML behavior - but you can use JavaScript function that handles "onSubmit" form event by which you can send all you need.
try with as below it might be simple
if (( isset($_GET['location']) && !empty($_GET['location']) )) {
die(var_dump($_GET['location'])); // the var_dump doesn't return an array at all
//$loc = implode(', ', $_GET['location']);
$_GET['location'] = array('first'=>'loc1','second'=>'loc2','third'=>'loc3');
$loc = implode('","', $_GET['location']);
$loc ='"'.$loc.'"';
$sql='SELECT * FROM locations WHERE AreaID IN ('.$loc.')';
echo $sql;
}
result query
SELECT * FROM locations WHERE AreaID IN ("loc1","loc2","loc3")
The for loop is getting one extra run. Change
for (x=0;x<=InvForm.SelBranch.length;x++)
to
for (x=0; x < InvForm.SelBranch.length; x++)
I've found the answer...
and in the PHP part :
