You can define each <option> in a listbox with an array element as its 
value.

Like so:

<select name="listbox">
    <option value="var[0]">Item 1</option>
    <option value="var[1]">Item 2</option>
    <option value="var[2]">Item 3</option>
</select>

That's one way to do it.  Personally, if I'm populating a listbox with 
results returned from a SQL query, I use the primary key of the record 
as the "value" attribute in <option>.
