Drop Down Menus

[thewalluk]

I need to add some data from drop down menus into a database. The form loops on itself to add the data. I'm not sure which part I need to add the dollar too, i.e. the select name or the values in the list, in order to make it work. I've included part of the code below:

$form.="Cateory 1*: <select name=\"cat\"> ";
	$form.="<option value=\"Action\">Action</option> <option value=\"Comedy\">Comedy</option>";
	$form.="<option value=\"Drama\">Drama</option> <option value=\"Family\">Family</option>";
	$form.="<option value=\"Horror\">Horror</option> <option value=\"Misc\">Misc</option>";
	$form.="</select>

Help please.

The values will be returned through the $POST['cat'] or $GET['cat'] variable depending on which method your using.
