Re: [Phphtmllib-devel] multiple select box

[Walter A. B. I. <wab...@bu...>]

Howdy,
  I actually found this issue as well, and have it fixed in the 
CVS version (2.0.0) of the libs.  There is a 4th param to the
form_select() function that is a flag to make the select tag
add the multiple attribute.

function form_select($name, $options=array(), $selected="", 		    
$multiple_flag=FALSE) {

    $select = new SELECTtag( array("name" => $name) );
    if ($multiple_flag) {
	$select->set_tag_attribute("MULTIPLE");
    }
...
