For you to achieve this you have to add another option to your combo box.

For example:

$sql = 'YOUR QUERY HERE';
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
          echo "<select>";
          echo "<option value='$row[item]'>$row[item]</option></select>\n";
}

if u want to get a specific value from mysql database u can use mysql_result();

$this = mysql_query("SELECT columname FROM tablename WHERE anycolumname = '$variable'");
$columnnamevalue = mysql_result($this, 0);

the 0 gets the first result i think if there are more than one result than 2 will get the third result.
