[TYPO3-english] Powermail: use PM as FE-submitter for tt_news: DB-inserts ok but problem with multiple selects

[Bert Hiddink [BENDOO e-work solutions]]

Hello,

I use Powermail as a FE-form for submitting news, the db-inserts I do 
with the snippet below. This works just fine, also inserting categories 
in the mm-table works fine (please look at the snippet below).

However, in case of a "multiple select", the form submits the value as 
an array, "powermail_select powermail_uid9" becomes "powermail_select 
powermail_uid9[]"

So in order to insert this array in the tt_news-table, I would have to 
split the array before inserting, something like:
...
             20.3.split {
                  token = ,
                  cObjNum = 1
                  1.current = 1
             }
...

Tried several option but could not get this working. Any hints/ideas to 
get me going again?

Thanks in advance!
Bert
