{
$name=$row["fullname"];
$options .= '<option value="'.$name.'">'.$name.'</option>';
}
?>
<?php echo $options; ?>
</option>
</select>
I don't think you fully understand how PHP works server side, but to get the value of a dropdown menu without submitting it you'll need Javascript ( jQuery makes everything easier). From there you just send an AJAX request using JSON as data format and retrieve it from PHP with json_decode
