Loading values from a <select> tag

Hi all, I want to print all the text stored in a <select> tag. For example: <select name="my_select"> <option value=1>Hello <option value=2>World <option value=3>Again!!! </select> This is the final select, but is created dinamically with javascript. So when the sumbit button is pressed, I want that my php script output the folowing: The number of options is: X (3 in that example) The options was: value=1, text=Hello value=2, text=World value=3, text=Again!!! and so on. Thanks for your help.
