Hi, Its almost working. it does insert the number of items I have selected. however, what its doing is inserted the same ID for all entries. After my test if I select all categories from the list, the ID which is being written to the table is the very first ID from those that I select.

For example is my database table consider of:
CategoryID
6
7
8
9
10

and if I select all the above in my multi-select list then it will create 5 records in the catalog table BUT all with ID 6 being stored.

Here is the code for the insert and the code for the html form:

Chris

php:
<?php

for ($x=0$x<sizeof($_POST['selectedCats']); $x++) {
?>
<?php
if (($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") && (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]) && strpos(urldecode($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]), urldecode($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"])) > 0) && isset($_POST)) {
  
$InsertQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($ecartdb);
  
$InsertQuery->Action "insert";
  
$InsertQuery->Table "`catalog`";
  
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("CatalogCategoryID""i""".((isset($_POST["selectedCats"]))?implode(",",$_POST["selectedCats"]):"")  ."""WA_DEFAULT");
  
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("CatalogProductID""i""".$_SESSION['ProductID']  ."""WA_DEFAULT");
  
$InsertQuery->saveInSession("CatalogID");
  
$InsertQuery->execute();
  
$InsertGoTo "product-manage.php";
  if (
function_exists("rel2abs")) $InsertGoTo $InsertGoTo?rel2abs($InsertGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
  
$InsertQuery->redirect($InsertGoTo);
}
?>
<?php
}
?>




php:
<select name="selectedCats[]" style="width: 260px;" multiple="" class="chosen-select">

  <?php
  
while(!$rsCategory->atEnd()) { //dyn select
  
?> 
    <?php
    
if ("".($rsCategory->getColumnVal("CategoryParentID"))  ."" != "0") {  // WebAssist Show If
    
?>
          <optgroup label="<?php echo($rsCategory->getColumnVal("CategoryID")); ?>">
    <?php
    
// ("".($rsCategory->getColumnVal("CategoryParentID"))  ."" != "0")
    
?>
              <option value="<?php echo($rsCategory->getColumnVal("CategoryID")); ?>"><?php echo($rsCategory->getColumnVal("CategoryName")); ?></option>
          </optgroup>
    <?php
  $rsCategory
->moveNext();
  } 
//dyn select
  
$rsCategory->moveFirst();
  
?>
</select>
