I'm using CI 2.0 and have this code:

Code:
echo form_dropdown('to', $accounts, $to);

For no apparent reason, this is the output

Code:
<select name="to" multiple="multiple">

<option value="2" selected="selected">Westair</option>

<option value="3">Ebay</option>

<option value="4">R&J Rentals</option>

</select>

. . . multiple="multiple"???

$to is an array of multiple items

Code:
count($to) > 1

form_dropdown() accepts four parameters:.

Quote:The first parameter will contain the name of the field, the second parameter will contain an associative array of options, and the third parameter will contain the value you wish to be selected. If you would like the opening <select> to contain additional data, like an id attribute or JavaScript, you can pass it as a string in the fourth parameter

Thank you, Cristian. I was handing it an array.
