title: PHP how to get a dropdown list with countries
body: <p>i'm making a country list for my registration page,
  but i'm wondering how to implement it into my registration form.</p>
  
  <p>i made the list in the file country.php</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select name="Country"&gt;
  &lt;option selected="selected" &lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value=""&gt;Country...&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value="Afganistan"&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value="Albania"&gt;Albania&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value="Algeria"&gt;Algeria&lt;/option&gt; 
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and in my registration page i use in my table </p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;th&gt;Land &lt;/th&gt;
    &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php include 'country.php'; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it doesnt seem to keep the value's in the form when i submit it.</p>
  
  <p>how do i make the value of $Country equal to the option selected in the country.php file?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot :)</p>
