Sergei,

<< yes, I understand. Anyway, I got a solution using TServerRequest, a loop
through TListBox selected items sending each one as a parameter. The
back-end did the rest. >>

Good solution, given the situation.

I wasn't aware of this "special-naming" requirement of PHP, and don't like
it one bit.  I'll keep looking to see if there's a better way, but the
back-end forcing naming conventions on the front-end HTML elements is not a
good design.

Thanks,

Hi Tim,

this is just for information:

I opened the js code generated by EWB and I changed the name of my TListBox

from
     $t.tform1_listbox1.tcomponent_setname("ListBox1");
to
     $t.tform1_listbox1.tcomponent_setname("ListBox1[]");

and PHP could parse all the TListBox selected items!

Well, as you said and I agree, "the back-end forcing naming conventions on the front-end HTML elements is not a good design".I don´t know the EWB community opinion but I guess that PHP is a very common back-end and who knows, in the near future, EWB could solve this.

Thank you!

Best regards
Sergei Safar

I'll look into it, but I don't think I can solve it by allowing brackets in
the component names - that's not a valid Object Pascal identifier and will
probably cause issues at design-time.

Ok, I fully agree. I don´t know if this is possible but, IMHO, it could be a TListBox property, let say,  "PHP compatibility" (true/false), published or not.
