                <?php

                $c_name = $_POST['country'];

$pdb2 = new CountryDB();

$countries1 = $pdb2->GetCountryByCountry($c_name);

?>

                

        <h1> Culture of <?php echo $c_name ?> </h1>

        <?php foreach($countries1 as $list): ?>

        <table>

if you want the Country menu to maintain the selected option on form submit the code will be

<select name="country" id="country_list" onchange="this.form.submit();" >

    <?php foreach($countries as $name):
              $selected = isset($_POST['country']) && $_POST['country'] == $name['country'] ? ' selected="selected"' : '';

    ?>

    <option value="<?php echo $name['country'] ?>"<?php echo $selected; ?>><?php echo $name['country'] ?></option>

    <?php endforeach; ?>

</select>
