I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand your question.

<select name="variablename">
<option value="value">displayedname
<option value="value2">displayedname2
</select>

That will give you a drop down menu.

Then, with php, depending on "get" or "post" method in your form tag (<form method="get">), you can use:
$_GET['variablename'] or $_POST['variablename'] to use those sent values.

Is this close?

Can you please link to the page you are having trouble with? It's a bit hard to understand what you want.

<select multiple="true">
<?php
  $dbuser = "your user";
  $dbpass = "your password";
  $dbname = "the name of the database";
  $tablename = "the name of the table";
  $conn = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=$dbname user=$dbuser pass=$dbpass");
  $query = "SELECT * FROM $tablename;";
  $rs = pg_query($query, $conn);
  while($row = pg_fetch_array($rs)) {
?>
  <option value="<?php echo($row['id']); ?>"><?php echo($row['country']); ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
