What do you need to know? How to access the selected option? How insert into a database? Or both?

HTML Code:

<select id="mylist" name="mylist">
     <option>Option 1</option>
     <option>Option 2</option>
     <option>Option 3</option>
</select>

The selected option can be accessed via the POST or GET array within PHP once the page has been submitted.

PHP Code:

$selected = $_POST['mylist'];

Do you know how to insert data into your database directly using the mysql commands?
