How to get multiple selected values of select box in php?
Use the following program for select the multiple values from select box.
multi.php
<?php
print <<<_HTML_
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="value.php">
<select name="flower[ ]" multiple>
<option value="flower">FLOWER</option>
<option value="rose">ROSE</option>
<option value="lilly">LILLY</option>
<option value="jasmine">JASMINE</option>
<option value="lotus">LOTUS</option>
<option value="tulips">TULIPS</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value=Submit>
</form>
</body>
</html>
_HTML_
?>
value.php
<?php
foreach ($_POST['flower'] as $names)
{
print "You are selected $names<br/>";
}
?>
If you want PHP to treat $_GET['select2'] as an array of options just add square brackets to the name of the select element like this: <select name="select2[]" multiple …
Then you can acces the array in your PHP script
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
foreach ($_GET['select2'] as $selectedOption)
echo $selectedOption."\n";
$_GET may be substituted by $_POST depending on the <form method="…" value.
Change:
<select name="select2" ...
To:
<select name="select2[]" ...
You can use this code to retrieve values from multiple select combo box
HTML:
<form action="c3.php" method="post">
<select name="ary[]" multiple="multiple">
<option value="Option 1" >Option 1</option>
<option value="Option 2">Option 2</option>
<option value="Option 3">Option 3</option>
<option value="Option 4">Option 4</option>
<option value="Option 5">Option 5</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
