[thelist] HTML/PHP Form Question - Sending Multiple Selections of a dropdown

[P Chen]

Thanks Anthony, this works well. I spent almost a whole day searching Google
and all I got was flustered, so perhaps I could edit...Google is your
friend, but theList subscribers are supreme.

Very grateful,
-Peter

Google is your friend. :-)

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=php+select+multiple&btnG=Google+Search&
aq=1&oq=php+select+

join(",",$_POST["test"])

Your code: Which location(s)?: " . $_POST['field_1'] . "

Should be: Which location(s)?: " . join(",",$_POST['field_1']) . "
