Unable to get all the values from form's post data in django

I am trying to access the post data from the form , below is my view

def retrieve_emails(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        print request.POST, ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>POST"
        if request.POST.has_key('invite'):
            print request.POST['invite'],"------------------> all values"
    return render_to_response('response.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request))

result

<QueryDict: {u'csrfmiddlewaretoken': [u'GoxxxxxxxxDxxxxxxopg'], u'invite': [u'<[email protected]>', u'<[email protected]>']}> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>POST

<[email protected]> ------------------>all values

As you can observe from the above result, i can able to get a list of emails for the key invite when we print the request.POST, but when we try to access/print the key invite as in the above code, its printing only one email from the list

Can anyone please let me know,why is it happening, and why it is returning only one email instead of list of emails ?

You have to use getlist() to get all values, otherwise you can only get the last value. So you need:

request.POST.getlist('invite')

Hope it helps.
