    Hi!

    I’m making a form on a wp page from where I’ll post posts.
    My problem is that I don’t know how to get the categories from a <select name”col1″><option> Formular.

    Here is my code:

    if(isset($_POST['Col1']) && !empty($_POST['Col1'])){
 $Col1_Array = $_POST['Col1'];
 $a='';
 foreach($Col1_Array as $selectValue){
  $a= $a.$selectValue.",";
 }
}
// Create post object
$my_post = array();
$my_post['post_title']    = stripslashes($_POST['titre']);
$my_post['post_content']  = stripslashes($_POST['description']);
$my_post['post_status']   = get_user_post_status ();
$my_post['post_author']   = $current_user->ID;
$my_post['post_category'] = array($a.'1');
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );

    this code only post on the first category that is selected.

    What can I change to make it right?

    Thanks

    here is the solution that I found:

    // Create post object
$my_post = array();
$my_post['post_title']    = stripslashes($_POST['titre']);
$my_post['post_content']  = stripslashes($_POST['description']);
$my_post['post_status']   = get_user_post_status ();
$my_post['post_author']   = $current_user->ID;
$my_post['post_category'] = $_POST['Col1'];
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );

    I hope it will help!
