    <p>I have been fiddling around with this code for a while and I cannot get it to work! I am a bit of a noob with this type of coding so please bare that in mind if/when I ask any "stupid questions".</p> <p>Basically I would like user to be able to select more than one option from a list generated from the db and feed that back in as their selection. At the moment it is a multiple select box but it only enters one value back into the db.</p> <p>Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks </p> <pre><code>function ProjectTheme_get_categories($taxo, $selected = "", $include_empty_option = "", $ccc = "") { $args = "orderby=name&amp;order=ASC&amp;hide_empty=0&amp;parent=0"; $terms = get_terms( $taxo, $args ); $ret = '&lt;select multiple size="20" name="'.$taxo.'_cat" class="'.$ccc.'" id="scrollselect '.$ccc.'"&gt;'; if(!empty($include_empty_option)) $ret .= "&lt;option value=''&gt;".$include_empty_option."&lt;/option&gt;"; if(empty($selected)) $selected = -1; foreach ( $terms as $term ) { $id = $term-&gt;term_id; $ret .= '&lt;option '.($selected == $id ? "selected='selected'" : " " ).' value="'.$id.'"&gt;'.$term-&gt;name.'&lt;/option&gt;'; $args = "orderby=name&amp;order=ASC&amp;hide_empty=0&amp;parent=".$id; $sub_terms = get_terms( $taxo, $args ); foreach ( $sub_terms as $sub_term ) { $sub_id = $sub_term-&gt;term_id; $ret .= '&lt;option '.($selected == $sub_id ? "selected='selected'" : " " ).' value="'.$sub_id.'"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp; '.$sub_term-&gt;name.'&lt;/option&gt;'; $args2 = "orderby=name&amp;order=ASC&amp;hide_empty=0&amp;parent=".$sub_id; $sub_terms2 = get_terms( $taxo, $args2 ); foreach ( $sub_terms2 as $sub_term2 ) { $sub_id2 = $sub_term2-&gt;term_id; $ret .= '&lt;option '.($selected == $sub_id2 ? "selected='selected'" : " " ).' value="'.$sub_id2.'"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp; '.$sub_term2-&gt;name.'&lt;/option&gt;'; } } } $ret .= '&lt;/select&gt;'; return $ret; } </code></pre> <p>Just in case I was not very clear my question is:</p> <p>How do I get the code above to enter multiple values back into the database?</p>

    1. COHave you considered just adding `[]` (giving: `name="'.$taxo.'_cat[]"`) to the name of the `select` element to return an array to the handling-script?

    2. COHi David, Thanks very much for the suggestion. Unfortunately this addition means it doesn't select any category

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
