How can the issue of not receiving an array when selecting multiple elements in a Multiple Select be resolved in PHP?

When selecting multiple elements in a Multiple Select in PHP, the selected values are typically passed as an array. If you are not receiving an array when selecting multiple elements, it may be due to the form field not being named with square brackets at the end (e.g. name="myField[]"). To resolve this issue, make sure the name attribute of the Multiple Select input field ends with square brackets to receive the selected values as an array. 

// Example code snippet to fix the issue of not receiving an array when selecting multiple elements in a Multiple Select
<select name="myField[]" multiple>
  <option value="1">Option 1</option>
  <option value="2">Option 2</option>
  <option value="3">Option 3</option>
</select>
