$_POST not printing dropdown values

[$php_mysql$]

whay is it that $_POST results from dropdown list not showing value?

if(isset($_POST['searchquery'])) {
	$searchquery = clean($_POST['searchquery']);
	print_r($searchquery);
	}

 

the form

 

<form action="search_ads.php" name="search"  method="post">
		Search: <input type="text" name="searchquery" /> 
		Category: <select name="category" size="1">
		<option value="Events">Events</option>
		</select>
		State: <select name="state" size="1">
		<option value="South_Carolina">South_Carolina</option>
		</select>
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search"/>
</form>

Because you seem to only be grabing 'searchquery'

echo '<br />'.$_POST['searchquery'];
echo '<br />'.$_POST['category']
echo '<br />'.$_POST['state'];
