$author = implode(',',$_POST['author']);

And if you'd need to extract it all again:

$authors = explode(',',$author);
(assuming there is no ',' in the $Staff_id)

Allthough, if it becomes a common habit, maybe an extra table will be
preferred. It would make handling data on the database side somewhat easier.

If this doesn't work:
1. Did you deribately set action='' in your form?
2. print_r($_POST), does your $_POST['author'] contain the values?
