Thanks everyone for all your help.
I found some code that is using Java script and although it's not fully
functional yet I am working on it. If anyone is interested here it is:
<?php require_once("util.php"); /*file holding DB info*/
global $db;
$db = mysql_connect(DBSERVERHOST, DBUSERNAME, DBPASSWORD);
if (!$db)
{
echo "Unable to connect to DB".mysql_error();
exit;
}
$selecteddb = mysql_select_db(DBNAME, $db);
if (!$selecteddb)
{
echo "Unable to select DBNAME:" .mysql_error();
exit;
}
?>

That *should* read :
document.fcountry.newcountry.value =
document.fcountry.country[document.fcountry.country.selectedIndex].value;
Skip the 'options' object - I'm surprised you're not getting a javascript
error, maybe you have error reporting turned off in your browser ? In any
case, always 'alert' that value when you create it, so you know what you're
actually submitting during testing.
