What are the potential pitfalls of using a dropdown with multi-selection in PHP forms?
Potential pitfalls of using a dropdown with multi-selection in PHP forms include difficulty in processing multiple selected values, increased complexity in form validation, and potential confusion for users if the dropdown is not implemented clearly. To solve this issue, consider using checkboxes or a multi-select dropdown instead for better user experience and easier data processing.
<select name="options[]" multiple>
<option value="option1">Option 1</option>
<option value="option2">Option 2</option>
<option value="option3">Option 3</option>
</select>
