Hi.I want to send multiple values i.e. both userlevel of user and user id of user who is selected through select menu.
But dont know how to do this.

<?PHP
$query=mysql_query("SELECT 
fname, 
user_id, 
userlevel 
FROM user 
WHERE fname IS NOT NULL");
echo "<select name='name'>";
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
echo "<option value =". $row['user_id'].">".
$row['fname']."</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
?>


<?PHP 
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{ 
$task_to=$_POST['name'];//user_id
$task_from=$_SESSION['userlevel']; //i.e. admin
$userlevel=$_POST['userlevel']; //user level of person to whom task is assigned
}
?>

You could so something like which is a simple way without using javascript

$query=mysql_query("SELECT 
fname,
user_id,
userlevel
FROM user
WHERE fname IS NOT NULL");

echo "<select name='name'>";

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
    echo "<option value='". $row['user_id'] ."::". $row['userlevel'] ."'>".$row['fname']."</option>";
}

echo "</select>";

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $data=explode('::', $_POST['name']);
    
    $tast_to=$data[0] //user_id

    $task_from=$_SESSION['userlevel']; //i.e. admin

    $userlevel=$data[1]; //user level of person to whom task is assigned
}
