    So you want a country dropdownlist, as well as hidden infos from an IP tracker?

    Well the first part is quite easy. Either you define your drowdown in the html stuff, or you define an array in the php code from which you generate the dropdown then. At the end you can use that array to verify the input, but you should add an extra field for countries you did no list:

    e.g.
    PHP:

    <?php
    $countries     = array( 'yourinternalcountryname' => 'Countrnametheusersees' );
    ?>

    <html>
    ...

    <!-- Generate pulldown -->
    <select size="1" name="country">
     <option value="">Select your country</option>
     <?php
           while( list($k,$v) = each($countries) ) {
              echo     "<option value=\"$k\">$v</option>\n";
       }
         ?>
    </select>

    ...


    <?php
          /*** The "verifycode" ***/
          if( !array_key_exists($_POST['country'], $countries) ) {
                //Your errormessage here
          }
    ?>

    The Clients IP thing you can read from the superglobal array $_SERVER.
    Don't know the element by now but just take a look at its structure, e.g. with the following code...
    PHP:
    <?php

    echo '<pre>';
    var_dump($_SERVER);
    echo </    pre>';

    ?>

    It is nearly the structure I postet....

    the first part comes on the top, the pulldown stuff anywhere in your htmlform

    and the last thing shall be put where you check your values....
