help getting values from <select>

[electricocean]

How do I get values from <select> into php?

html:

<select name="genre" id="genre">
<option value="Yo Mama" selected>Yo Mama</option>
<option value="Blonde">Blonde</option>
</select>

php:

$genre =$_POST['genre'];

Whats wrong. My script also displayes what has been selected and it always shows: "Genre: " and does not say the genre.

thanks,

Should be ok. Are you echoing its value?

"Genre: <?php echo $genre;?>"
