need help adding shipping to total using a drop down menu

[mikewooten]

i am creating a checkout page and it needs to have the shipping information added to the total.
how do you add the shipping information to the total using a dropdown menu for the shipping information.
does anyone know how to do that? or maybe something similar to what amazon has.
site that i'm working on is:

simple math really. a simplified example:

<form action="" method="POST">
enter a number: <input type="text" name="number1" size=2><br>
chosse another number: <select name="number2">
<option>1
<option>2
<option>3
<option>4
<option>5
</select><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="add these together">
</form>

<?
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	$total = $_POST['number1'] + $_POST['number2'];
	echo $_POST['number1'] . ' + ' . $_POST['number2'] . ' = <b>' . $total . '</b>';
}
?>
