Hi !

Maybe i have described this on the wrong way....

This is what im passing after you click update button:

<select name="options">
<option value="0" >Snow </option>
<option value="1" >Winter</option>
</select>

If i write this to db then i will write "0" or "1" and i want to store
"Snow" or "Winter" into db.
I have to use numerical values for my other use with select, but i must
store text into db.

So i can make something like this:
if (options = "0" )
options = "Snow";
write options into db.
