Need help code returns word Array

[Thegecho]

I don't believe this is PHP but I can use PHP in the code with literal tags. However, when I attempted to get the code to pull items from two separate drop boxes instead of getting the words pushed it pushed only the word Array. This is a 2 day problem that I just haven't been able to figure out. If anyone can help shed light on this I would appreciate it. I can't for the life of me figure out why it's doing this.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Thegecho.

If the form value is set up to return an array, as in a <select> with the multiple attribute set, then the return value in the POST superglobal will indeed be an array. Attempting to print the value with merely print "Array" to the browser. Trying using the PHP print_r() function to dump the value to see how PHP handles form array values.
