Need option select dropdown to pass more than one value

Hi, I have a client who sells a product in 5, 8 and 12 packs, and the shopper can actually select a different color for each of the items in the pack. I would prefer to use just one select drop down for the color option because there are over 75 colors.

My question is, once I've updated the product.tpl file so that the select drop down will actually allow me to select more than one value, how do I then pass these values to the cart? It will only take one value of those I've highlighted in my select drop down so I need to make further revisions to the code.

I'm assuming I have to further update this code from my product.tpl file:

Code: Select all

        <?php if ($option['type'] == 'select') { ?>
        <div id="option-<?php echo $option['product_option_id']; ?>" class="option">
          <?php if ($option['required']) { ?>
          <span class="required">*</span>
          <?php } ?>
          <b><?php echo $option['name']; ?>:</b><br />
          <select name="option[<?php echo $option['product_option_id']; ?>]" multiple="multiple">
            <option value=""><?php echo $text_select; ?></option>
            <?php foreach ($option['option_value'] as $option_value) { ?>
            <option value="<?php echo $option_value['product_option_value_id']; ?>"><?php echo $option_value['name']; ?>
            <?php if ($option_value['price']) { ?>
            (<?php echo $option_value['price_prefix']; ?><?php echo $option_value['price']; ?>)
            <?php } ?>
            </option>
            <?php } ?>
          </select>

Thank you for any assistance with this - I am really only 25% a php coder and 75% a designer so this is a challenge for me.
