Select Multiple on Form Dropdown

General PHP Help
#1

I need some assistance changing a single select into a multiple select form drop-down. I am having issues with the multiple selections storing. Thank you for your help!

[php]$var = "

            <script type='text/javascript'>

            jQuery(function(){

                

                     jQuery('form').attr('method', 'get');

                     jQuery('form').after('<input type=\"submit\"  id=\"doaction_k2\" class=\"button-secondary action\" value=\"Apply Folder Access\" style=\"background: red; color: #fff;\">');

                     

            

                var thisurl = '';

                var thaturl = '';

                jQuery('#doaction_k2').live('click', function(){

                       jQuery('.new_file_access').each(function(){

                        thisurl = thisurl + '|' + jQuery(this).attr('userid') + '~' + jQuery(this).val();

                       });

                       

                       jQuery('.new_file_readwrite').each(function(){

                        thaturl = thaturl + '|' + jQuery(this).attr('userid') + '~' + jQuery(this).val();

                       });

                    

                    jQuery.post(document.URL, { update_access: 1, file_access: thisurl, file_readwrite: thaturl }, function(){

                        window.location = document.URL;

                    });

                    

                    return false;

                    });

                });

                

            </script>";

        }

            

            $var .= "<select multiple='yes' id='file_manager_accessk".$user_id."[]' class='new_file_access' userid='$user_id'><option value='' $noaccess>No Access</option>";
            
            foreach($ACCESS_ARRAY as $key=>$value)

            {

                    $key = str_replace('\\', '/', $key);

                    $keys = $key .'~'. $urls.'/'.$value;

                    $keys = substr($keys, 0, strlen($keys)-1);

                    $keys1 = base64_encode($keys);

                    

                    $var .= "<option value='$keys1' $select[$keys]>$value</option>";

            }

            $var .= "</select>";

            return $var;[/php]

Can you share the HTML Output from you code?

#3

on your select tag add the attribute “multiple” like so…

<select name='multipleOptions'> multiple
    <option>option1</option>
    <option>option2</option>
    <option>option3</option>
    <option>option4</option>
</select>

When accessing it with php it will be an array. Just do a print_r on that input and you will see how it is stored.

#1 multiple needs to be inside the tag
#2 you must define the name as an array with []

[php][/php]

#5

You are absolutely correct, those where really poor mistakes.
