Okay, I'm totally sure what you asking here, but I think you want a dropdown menu in a HTML form to submit the selected value to a php page, which will in turn stick it in a DB. Here's what you do, set up your page like this, and save it as 'this.php' :
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 //EN">
<head>
<title>Title here!</title>
</head>
<body>
<? echo $bob; ?>
<form action="this.php">
<SELECT name="bob">
<OPTION>satan</OPTION>
<OPTION SELECTED>God</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
The important part to get here is that the name of the SELECT is bob, and the PHP variable $bob reflects the value of the select statement, once the page is submitted to itself.
