    <option value=3>option 3</option>
    <option value=4>option 4</option>
    <option value=5>option 5</option>

    HTML

    <form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
    <select name="test[]" multiple="multiple">
    <option value="one">one</option>
    <option value="two">two</option>

    <option value="four">four</option>
    <option value="five">five</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Send" />
    </form>

    PHP

    <?php
    $test=$_POST['test'];
    if ($test){
    foreach ($test as $t){echo 'You selected ',$t,'<br />';}
    }
    ?>
