Answer 1

Change your select box options value:

     Select Manufacturer
     --Any--
     Toyota
     Nissan
  

You cann't get the text of selected option in php. it will give only the value of selected option.

EDITED:

     Select Manufacturer
     --Any--
     Toyota
     Nissan
  

ON php file:

$maker = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Make']);
$maker = explode("_",$maker);
echo $maker[1]; //give the Toyota
echo $maker[0]; //give the key 2
