Think you only use an array when you want multiple values put into one
variable/array. As you can see from the included code I am using two
separate variables. One variable is 'selection' for 'member_lname' and
the other is 'member_id' for 'member_id'.

If I wanted both put into a variable, then I would use an array.

Right?
