 <form method="post" action="blah.php">
   <select multiple name="bleh[]">
     <option value="1">1</option>
     <option value="2">2</option>
     <option value="3">3</option>
     <option value="4">4</option>
     <option value="5">5</option>
   </select>
 </form>

Notice the [] on the name, telling PHP it's an array.

Then, to get the items selected, it will be in $_POST['bleh'], which is an
array. So, $_POST['bleh'][0] will be the first one selected, etc.
count($_POST['bleh']) will tell you how many were selected.
