[LEFT]I’m using a list/menu item so that one can select multiple values:[/LEFT]

```auto

<select name="select" size="5" multiple>
<option value="1">first</option>
<option value="2">second</option>
<option value="3">third</option>
</select>

```

[LEFT]now the question is… how do i get the values to php ? for example, at the moment i’m using the following code:[/LEFT]

```php

[left]<?php
if ($submit){
 echo $select;
}
?>
[/left]

```

[LEFT]but that only gives me one value, but i might have chosen all three ![/LEFT]
