Question

I have a function

function pick ($name, $values, $defval=0, $size=0)
{

        $check = $defval;
        echo "<select name="$name" size="$size"> ";

        foreach ($values as $value)
        echo " <option value = "$value" ".
        (($value == $check) ? ' selected' : '') . "> $value </option> ";
        echo "</select>";
}

Need to change this function so it would support multiple selections. For examle, if I have an array

$vals = array('1','2','3','4','5');

and call this function with this

picklist('pick4',$vals,array('2','4'),5);

need to highlight 2 and 4 in the output or any other values that I would want to pass

Explanation / Answer

here you go :

function pick ($name, $values, $defval=0, $size=0)
{

        $check = $defval;
        echo "<select name="$name" size="$size" multiple> ";

        foreach ($values as $value)
        echo " <option value = "$value" ".
        (($value == $check) ? ' selected' : '') . "> $value </option> ";
        echo "</select>";
}
