i'm having trouble with the drop down list. when i insert into mysql, its not inserting the drop down list selected.

 

    <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='insert.php' method='post' name='changer'>
      <p align='center'>
      <input type='text' name='username'value='$username' readonly='readonly'> <br>
      <input type='text' name='hyperlink'value='input hyperlink here'> <br>
      <input type='text' name='name' value='input title here'> <br>
  <input type='text' name='summary' value='input summary here'> <br>
      <textarea name='info' cols='40' rows='10' wrap='hard'>input full detail here</textarea> <br>
      <font color=white>input keywords manually</font><input type='text' name='keywords' value=''><br>
       <font color=white> or </font>
      <select name 'keywords'>
<option>--Select a category--</option>
<option value='Debate'>Debate</option>
<option value='Music'>Music</option>
<option value='Jobs'>Jobs</option>
</select>
      <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'><br></p></form>";

 

i named the select name keywords... i thought it would insert but its not.. i have two inputs named 'keywords' the textfield and the dropdownlist..the textfield inputs into keywords fine when submitted.  the dropdownlist doesn't insert into keywords..

 

 

    $username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
       $hyperlink = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['hyperlink']);
	$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
	$summary = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['summary']);
	$info = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['info']);
$keywords = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['keywords']);

      // Create the query and insert
      // into our database.
      $query = "INSERT INTO Stacks";
      $query .= "(`username`,`hyperlink`,`name`,`summary`,`info`,`keywords`) VALUES ('$username','$hyperlink','$name','$summary','$info','$keywords')";
