$sql = "SELECT ItemID, ItemName, Price FROM itemavail ORDER BY ItemName";
$rs = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs))

OK, so currently for every record you are sending something similar to: <option value="12">...</option> Why not just send something like: <option value="xxx___12">...</option> Where "xxx" is your ItemId and "___" is just a "delimiter".

echo sprintf('<option value="%s___%s">%s</option>' . PHP_EOL, $row['ItemId'], $row['Price'], $row['ItemName']);

Thus, all you would need to do when you get that value, is split the value at the delimiter:

list( $itemId, $itemValue) = explode("___",$_POST['item8']);
echo 'Item: '.$itemId . '=' . $itemValue;
