oh yes, dont forget to add the php tags ( <?php and ?> ) after the first select tag and before the last one
you talk about accessing this information on another page, if you put that drop down in a form (obviously) when submitted it can be accessed on the next page using the variable $dropmenu

you can then run a query on that and stick it in a new table or whatever you like
i don't understand the question : )
