To answer this question, here's an excerpt from my current project:
if ($fullname == "Choir")
$result = mysql_query("SELECT entry_name FROM ChoirEntry WHERE
school_id='$schoolid' ORDER BY entry_name ASC;") or die("Could not find
record.");
else
$result = mysql_query("SELECT entry_name FROM BandEntry WHERE
school_id='$schoolid' ORDER BY entry_name ASC;") or die("Could not find
record.");
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
while($a_row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
foreach($a_row as $field)
{
print "<tr><td align='center'>$field</td></tr>\n";
}
}
}
else
{
print "<tr><td align='center'>None Entered Yet</td></tr>";
}
As you can see, I use a while loop to iterate through the results using
mysql_fetch_array.

<form method='post' action='nextpage.php'>
<select name='choices'>
<option>Option1</option>
<option>Option2></option>
<input type='submit' value='Send Choice">
On nextpage.php have a line near the top of the script that says:
$someVar = $_POST['choices'];
