You will have to use JavaScript  The browser will only send the value of the selected option  so its not PHP s fault    What your JS should do is hook into the form s submit event and create a hidden field with the value of the selected option s stud name value  This hidden field will then get sent to the server   That being said     you shouldn t relay on the client to provide the correct data  You already know what stud name should be for a given value on the server  since you are outputting it   So just apply the same logic when you are processing the form

You can use jquery function    lt form name  add  gt      lt input type  text  name  stud name  id  stud name  value     gt     Age   lt select name  age  id  age  gt      lt option value  1  stud name  sre  gt 23 lt  option gt      lt option value  2  stud name  sam  gt 24 lt  option gt      lt option value  5  stud name  john  gt 25 lt  option gt      lt  select gt      lt input type  submit  name  submit   gt   lt  form gt    jquery code     lt script type  text javascript  src  jquery js  gt  lt  script gt    lt script gt        function                   age   change function              var option      option selected   this  attr  stud name                  stud name   val option                       lt  script gt

just combine the value and the stud name e g  1 sre and split the value when get it into php  Javascript seems like hammer to crack a nut  N B  this method assumes you can edit the the html  Here is what the html might look like    lt form name  add  gt  Age   lt select name  age  gt        lt option value  1 sre  gt 23 lt  option gt        lt option value  2 sam gt 24 lt  option gt        lt option value  5 john gt 25 lt  option gt        lt  select gt   lt input type  submit  name  submit   gt   lt  form gt
