first, you're missing quotation marks in line 3
second, what is $sarea? I can see it nowhere defined. If you don't get any output check the variable content with var_dump().

combo box is showing data but selected data doesnot go to other page

unless you post the data (via submit) your selected data will go nowhere. once your script has finished delivering the html page you can't do anything with php (including capturing user actions (like select something)) up to the next page load. so without a form you'll just pass the name, not more, not less.
