form::dropdown doesn't name properly with mutiple-enabled select elements

[beau6183]

In php, to obtain multiple values from a <select multiple="multiple"> control, you have to name it as an array.

I'd expect:

$form = new Forge(); $form->dropdown('mydropdown')->multiple("multiple")->size(5); $form->html();

to output:

<form>

<select name="mydropdown[]" mutiple="multiple" />

</form>

But the array indicator is dropped, making it impossible to pull all selected values from the form post.

I've created a patch to get this working correctly with no interface change (other than setting the multiple attribute on the dropdown).

A note about usage: $selected is now expected to be an array. If it's not an array, the values will be wrapped as an array.
