Okay, it's not that much different than using check-boxes -- here's 
the solution for that:

and here's the select solution:

http://www.webbytedd.com/bbb/select-box-form/index.php

The point is to use name="option[]" (i.e., name the array) and allow 
the browser to populate the POST array. Then on the php side of 
things, simply pull out the data from the POST array via the array's 
name.

You can see how this is done via the above links.
