<option value="1">ajith</option>
</select>
</form>

here when i am try to get the value of my dropdown its only getting 1.How can i get ajith

Answer 1

If you just want “ajith” then do as Shoban suggests. If you need both 1 and “ajith” you could always have:
<option value="1-ajith">ajith</option>

And then with php:

$sTxtPlace = $_POST['txtplace'];
list($number,$text) = explode("-",$sTxtPlace,2);
