i totally new in php, in fact reason doing customize wordpress plugin can fit need. far have default form, doing add country dropdown. here's how add it

<div class="control-group">     <label class="control-label" for="country">country :</label>     <div class="controls">         <select id="itemtype_id" name="cscf[country]" class="input-xlarge">             <option value="malaysia@email.com">malaysia</option>             <option value="indonesia@email.com">indonesia</option>          </select>            <span class="help-inline"></span>     </div>   </div> 

so far able retrieve value of selected item

$cscf['country']; 

how can display text country name in case ?

you can use hidden field, , javascript , jquery can set value field, when selected value of dropdown changes.

<select id="itemtype_id" name="cscf[country]" class="input-xlarge">   <option value="malaysia@email.com">malaysia</option>   <option value="indonesia@email.com">indonesia</option>  </select> <input type="hidden" name="country" id="country_hidden">  <script>   $(document).ready(function() {     $("#itemtype_id").change(function(){       $("#country_hidden").val(("#itemtype_id").find(":selected").text());     });   }); </script> 

then when page submitted, can name of country using

$_post["country"]
