select boxes called list1[] and javascript

Help!!!

I have Moving Values Between Select Boxes WITHOUT auto-sort simular to http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/selectbox/

But i have to call my select boxes like 'list[]' instead of 'list1' and javascript hates this but i have to do this so when i post it to the next page the php script can pick this up.

Is there a way round this?

cheers!!

Although I don't understand the intricacies of PHP, in ASP, when you submit a form with multiple values selected in a drop down, or check box, whatever, the data is returned in a comma separated list. Surely PHP doesn't require that you add square brackets, cos obviously, as you've found, this screws with javascript.

Thanks a lot for your reply, It did help but got the information I required off an old post of yours

And to answer your question I think it does require [] to pick up the selected values in to an array, although I only have been touching on PHP for the past few months so not exactly full of knowledge. I think the trick is to passing in to hidden text field and use the explode() function to get the values in to an array.

Ill let you know

Thanks a Lot

I've just done a quick query on google - doesn't look like there's any need to use the square brackets (and there shouldn't - it's a dodgy hack). Simply post the form as usual, then use the split function - http://au3.php.net/split - There are probably other split functions avail in PHP that can use a literal string as the splitter, rather than a reg exp pattern.

Yeah, so did you find the solution for this? If so, please post it because I am having problems with it as well.
