if the form containing this element is posted then the following will
so you what exactly is posted:
var_dump( $_POST['interesse'] );
which should show you an array of one or more items, which either
come from many form elements named 'interesse[]' OR from a single
element named 'interesse[]' where that element is multiselect
(in which case the definition should be something like:
<select name="interesse[]" multiple>
or
<select name="interesse[]" multiple="multiple">
btw: its not that hard to create a test form with elements
you intend to use and then submit it to a test script that
just outputs what has been posted... so you can see for yourself
what is returned and which vars you need to access in order
to retrieve whatever value you want/need... to see everything
that was posted simply do the following in you [test] submission
handler script:
echo '<pre>' // this just makes it easier to read the var_dump() output.
var_dump( $_POST );
