title: PHP code to get selected text of a combo box
body: <p>I have a combo box named "Make". In that combo box I'm loading vehicle manufacturer names. When I click SEARCH button I want to display the selected manufacturer name. Below is part of my HTML code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;label for="Manufacturer"&gt; Manufacturer : &lt;/label&gt;
  &lt;select id="cmbMake" name="Make" &gt;
     &lt;option value="0"&gt;Select Manufacturer&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="1"&gt;--Any--&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="2"&gt;Toyota&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="3"&gt;Nissan&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  
  &lt;input type="submit" name="search" value="Search"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Below is my PHP code so far I've done. </p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;?php
  
  if(isset($_POST['search']))
  {
      $maker = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Make']);
      echo $maker;
      }
   ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I select Toyota from the combo box and press SEARCH button, I'm getting the answer as '2' . It means it gives me the value of the 'Toyota'. But I want to display the name 'Toyota'. How can I do that? Please help me ....  </p>
