hi i use this form

<form name="post" method="post" action=" <?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>">

when i sumbit, instead of test.php it shows this ( > )

Not sure why you are getting the '>', but try this instead ...

<form name="post" method="post"
action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>"

Sorry, don't understand your problem ... show us some code. Also,
show us what you want, and what you actually get.

im trying to know code of geting from html dropdown box anything like
<select size="1" name="cat">
<option value="1">addthis</option>
<option value="2">addthis2</option>
</select>

to add selected to mysql

If you have a form ...

<form action="select_test.php" name="frm">
<select name="cat" size="1">
<option value="1" SELECTED>Text 1</option>
<option value="2">Text 2</option>
<option value="3">Text 3</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>

... and a separate php file (called select_test.php) with ...

<?php
echo $_GET["cat"];
?>

... then either a '1', '2', or '3' is displayed.

It is the value attribute from the option tag (1, 2 or 3) that is sent, NOT the text between the option tags ("Text 1", "Text 2" or "Text 3").
