Can I make multiple selections from a drop down list and add them to a field within a table?

[Raymond Ferruolo Jr]

I'm getting into MySQL for a work project and so far I seem to be chugging along slowly but fine, learning as I go.

I've been looking for a way to add multiple selections from a drop down list (using the ctrl+click action) to a MySQL Database.
I'm using Dreamweaver for most of my coding and I've been able to allow multiple selections with the Dreamweaver controls, but when I add the record to the database I get only the first of the multiple selections populated into the database.
Is there any special way I need to format the field being populated to make this work?

The field that I am pulling the drop down list data from is varchar(8).
The field that I want to add multiple selections from the data in the dropdown list is also varchar(8) right now.

I'd appreciate any help that can be offered on this matter.
Thanks,
Ray
