<select name="items">  
<php  
// assuming that you use mysql fetch array to get you data
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($data))    
{echo "<option value='".$row[id]."'>".$row[name]."</option>";}  
?>
</select>

This creates a simple drop down list in HTML. You can add additional functionality using Javascript. jQuery is your friend.
