[PHP] R: multiple selections in list/menu field From: --- (flagzen <email protected>)
Date: 09/17/01

i don't know if it will work, but try to use x[rec_pd4][] as select name
and remember that x[rec_pd4] will result as an array, not a string!!
instead of ==, you can use the in_array function to check if a value is in
the array...
