You have several problems here; first is that the name of your 'select
multiple' box should be system[] in order to be able to pass ALL the
selected items - otherwise you only get the last one selected.
That will then give you an array named system, which you'll need to parse
and break up into a query like
WHERE ... system = '$system[0]' OR system = '$system[1] ... OR system =
'$system[n]'
Lastly, you seem to have omitted the loop to cycle through all the rows
of your result set ;-(
