Dropdown Selection not Being Added to Table

[The_Thorn]

Hello.

 

I have been working on and researching this issue for the past day without resolution:

 

When a User selects a country via a dropdown on a form, upon submission it should be added to the table. But it isn't.

 

I've tried everything I can think of.

 

DB connection is fine - All other fields in the form go into the table properly.

 

It's just the country dropdown I'm having problems with.

 

NOTE: This also include HTML

$con=mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD) or die("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());
$db=mysql_select_db(DB_NAME,$con) or die("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());
 
 
function NewUser()
{  
    $userName = $_POST['user'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $password =  $_POST['pass'];
    $countries = $_POST['countries'];
    $query = "INSERT INTO WebsiteUsers (user,email,pass,countries) VALUES ('$userName','$email','$password', '$countries')";
    $data = mysql_query ($query)or die(mysql_error());
    if($data)
    {
    echo "YOUR REGISTRATION IS COMPLETED...";
    }
}

<label class="grey" for="dropdown">Country:</label> 
<name="pass" id="pass"/>

<select name="countries" id="countries" style="width:290px;">
 <option value='us' data-image="images/msdropdown/icons/blank.gif" data-imagecss="flag us" data-title="United States" selected="selected">United States</option>
  <option value='ad' data-image="images/msdropdown/icons/blank.gif" data-imagecss="flag ad" data-title="Andorra">Andorra</option>

I'm sorry for the sloppy formatting - It's still rough.

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

1 - what is a <name> tag?

 

2 - how about showing us how you are handling the country result?

Since you didn't provide more of the code I am taking a guess at this but are you sure you closed the <select> tag after the <option>s.

Do you know how functions work in programming?

You need to call NewUser().
