html - How To Return String Value of Drop Down (Select) Menu in PHP -


i have list of items in drop-down menu, , have googled 45 minutes or so. nothing answering question. versed in css , html, new php; appreciated. want string value. not numerical value (which getting now.)

html:

<form action="mail.php" method="post">   <select name="list1">     <option value="0">select products...</option>     <option value="1">wheat 50lbs</option>     <option value="2">barley 50lbs</option>     <option value="3">purple barley 50lbs</option>   </select>   ........ </form>

php:

<?php   //data user   $name    = $_post['name'];   $email   = $_post['email'];   $phone   = $_post['phone'];   $message = $_post['message'];   $subject = $_post['subject'];   $list1   = $_post['list1'];    //how send e-mail   $to      = "clientsemailaddress@example.com";   $body    = "name: $name \n email: $email \n phone: $phone \norder: $list1 \n\n          $message";   $headers = "from: $name". "\r\n" . "reply-to: $email" . "\r\n" . "x-mailer: php/" . phpversion();    mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);   echo "message sent! <a href='contact.html'>click here</a>"; ?>

note: spaces shouldn't in code above aren't in actual code.

if want return string, , numerical value not important, set string actual value. instead of:

<select name="list1">     <option value="0">select products...</option>     <option value="1">wheat 50lbs</option>     <option value="2">barley 50lbs</option>     <option value="3">purple barley 50lbs</option> </select>

it be: 

<select name="list1">         <option value="">select products...</option>         <option value="wheat 50lbs">wheat 50lbs</option>         <option value="barley 50lbs">barley 50lbs</option>         <option value="purple barley 50lbs">purple barley 50lbs</option> </select>

also, assuming wouldn't want them send first option, make sure validate , check have selected before submitting form.
