Getting multiple data from multiple select boxes'

Question

I've got next situation:

I have multiple select boxes (that can select multiple choices) and i need that in php to be processed.

A code is next:

<select name="selectusers[]"  multiple>
	<option value="1">John</option>
	<option value="2">Smith</option>
</select>
<select name="selectusers[]"  multiple>
	<option value="1">John</option>
	<option value="2">Smith</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />

So now, in PHP I do the general foreach

<?php
    foreach($select_users as $users){
        ...
    }
?>

But each time I do foreach loop, and i print_r($select_users); inside of foreach, it gives me same result like:

Array([0]=>Array([0]=>30)[1]=>Array([0]=>33))
Array([0]=>Array([0]=>30)[1]=>Array([0]=>33))

What should I do?

Thank you.

that form doesn't make sense, there's two select boxes with both multiple attributes why not just one select box, you could select both John and Smith selections in one select box anyway — Kevin

Because I'm appending more selecting boxes combined with text box (named title) and every title have it's users. — harisdev

You need to change the name of your select:

<select name="selectusers[]"  multiple>
	<option value="1">John</option>
	<option value="2">Smith</option>
</select>
<select name="selectusers2[]"  multiple>
	<option value="1">John</option>
	<option value="2">Smith</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />

Try this.
