The square brackets indicate that the values from the select element will be available as an array

Code: Select all

<select name="listOfItems[]">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
</select>
To access the values

Code: Select all

<?php
 if (is_array($_POST['listOfItems'])) {
  foreach ($_POST['listOfItems'] as $value) {
   echo $value;
  }
}
?>
