Give your <select> a "name" attribute (<select name = "suppliers">), and each <option> a "value" attribute (<option value = "12">). Then when the form is submitted, $_POST['suppliers'] will equal 12 (or whatever option is selected when the form is submitted).
Do a google search for HTML select box & you should get some pages giving your more details on how they work.
