Hi,
Your select is not an array, but a simple value, since only 1 can be
selected.
So if you want to know what was selected, just use:
<select name="OS" size="5">
and from PHP: $_GET["OS"]
Of course this means the method of the form was GET and not POST, in which
case you should use $_POST["OS"]
I think you are confusing checkboxes with select.
For checkboxes you can use:
<input type="checkbox" name="myval[]" value="1">1<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="myval[]" value="2">2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="myval[]" value="3">3<br>
then from PHP:
$myvalArr = $_POST["myval"];
