Yes, cgi interface can return to you array of values
for single variable name,
so it's always better do not invent naming convention,
but rather use different type of internal data (array instead scalar).

Html SELECT also has multiple attribute,
and going there you would need array anyway.
In purpose of phone/email entry you seems to need <input text> instead.
