Hi all,

I am a bit new to PHP and SQL so this may seem like a dumb question.

I have already created a drop down list as part of a form which is
automatically populated with values taken from a separate database. When a
user goes onto this page and either leaves the default value or selects a
value from the drop down list and presses the submit button, I would like
that selected value to be stored into a database which I have already
created in SQL.

Just to let you know that I can do the above using a text field but just
don't know how to do it with drop down list.

If your going to explain any coding then it may help if I give you the names
of certain items that are involved.

Database is called "Company"
Field within database is called "Name"

Drop down list is called "company"

Thanks
Ren
