This is from the help:
It's important to note that the element name must be in the form name[] for multiple selects! This way you'll receive the selected values in an array (this is a PHP feature).

Do you mean to be [A] and [C] instead of A and C!!

I'm sorry, I do not know what you mean by [A] and [C].
I am referring to the name of the combo-box.
if this does not answer your question then please try to be more specific (include the URL of the page, your settings etc.)

Did you include brackets in the combobox name? Also please see the Help for more information.

Do you mean to re-name the compo box name! lets say my compo box named William. so i have to re-name it to [William].
Am i right!! If yes so i already did that. and Unfortunately that doesn't work with me.
Thank you BaconFries for your reply. My answer yes Based on Pablo response.

You're right Pablo. It works that way.
Hopefully you give an example in the Help file. i think that would be very useful.
Thank you alexmasss , BaconFries and Pablo as usual. you're the clue of this forum..
Happy New year All.

Hi all,
Should the combobox multiple choices (array) work with the mysqlconnector ?
I am trying to get a simple multiple selection to be added to a mysql field (Blob, Json) to add a simple array of 2-3 names selected from list.
I have named the element testname[], and also tried the Object ID in the mysql connector as both testname[], and testname. However, can't seem to get it to work. Any pointers would be appreciated ?
D.

I'm sorry, currently data of multiple select comboboxes is not supported for MySQL.
This functionality is planned for future release.
