I am using input select with attribute multiple="multiple" like this

<select size="10" multiple="multiple" class="span6" id="form_related_articles" name="related_articles">
  <optgroup label="Misija evrovizija" class="fontmisija">
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
    <option value="3">Three</option>
    <option value="4">Four</option>
  </optgroup>
  <optgroup label="Festivali" class="fontfest">
    <option value="5">Five</option>
    <option value="6">Six</option>
    <option value="7">Seven</option>
  </optgroup>
</select>

when submitting form then Input::post('related_articles') always only has the last selected value... ? Isn't this suppose to submit array of selected values?

Jelmer Schreuder

HTML nor the browser will make "related_articles" an array, thus multiple values will be posted like this in your example:

related_articles=1&related_articles=2&related_articles=3

The problem is that each new value will overwrite the earlier, thus leaving only the last selected value. Rename the form attribute to "related_articles[]" and it'll be like this when posted:

related_articles[]=1&related;_articles[]=2&related;_articles[]

Giving you array(1,2,3) instead of just the last value.

Awesome Jelmer, thanks!
