how to get values instead of ids

[snowman55]

Hi, for the examples, how do I get the values returned instead of ids e.g. instead of a number for the country or state, how do I get the actual country name or state name?

I'm using the selection box to return something like this e.g.after going thru the selection
xyz.php?country=Brazil&state=Amazonas

now, the default selector returns ids i.e.
xyz.php?country=2&state=3

If you want to create a get like this xyz.php?country=Brazil&state=Amazonas

Just need to replace values within database with you country ID, so
for each country would be:

id : Amazonas
Value: Amazonas
