Hello ..

I want to know the error in this code

The following code retrieves the names of the members of the database query in the dropdownlist

But how do I know who you selected.... I want to send messages only to the members that selected form dropdown list

    <?php
include ("connect.php");



    $name = $_POST['sector_list'];

    echo   $name  ;

?>


    <form method="POST" action="" > 
    <input type="hidden" name="sector" value="sector_list"> 
    <select name="sector_list" class="inputstandard"> 
    <option  size ="40" value="default">send to </option> 

    <?php 
        $result = mysql_query('select  * from  members  ')  
        or die (mysql_error());  

        while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { 

            echo '<option size ="40" value=" '. $row['MemberID'] . '" name="' . $row['MemberName']. '">' . $row['MemberName']. '</option>'; 

       } 

    ?> 

    </select> 
    </form>

I hope somebody can help me
