Description:
------------
Normally when you have a 'select-array' in a HTML-form 
using the 'multiple="multiple"-Option' you should get 
back an array in PHP.

Unfortunately PHP5 gives back only the last selected 
value instead of an array containing all the selected 
values.

With the supplied HTML/PHP Code you can reproduce this.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de" lang="de">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
	<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="form.html" method="post">
<select name="myvar" multiple="multiple">
<option label="first" value="num1"></option>
<option label="second" value="num2"></option>
<option label="third" value="num3"></option>
<option label="fourth" value="num4"></option>
<option label="fifth" value="num5"></option>
</select>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<p>
<?php print_r ($_POST); ?>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to get back an array containing all the 
selected values.

Actual result:
--------------
Actually, only the last selected value is given back.

PHP expects an array for that, status->bogus.
