Passing variable with previous next

["Achieve IT" <info@achieve-it.com>]

Hello,
I am working on a page that first collects a variable using POST, and which
then uses same in the page which processed this variable. Everything works
fine if I run the page with the variable already set (i.e. do not send it
via POST from the page which calls the script. I have included what I think
are the important parts below. Any help greatly appreciated, as this is my
first time to post to this list.
Thanks,
Declan.

(a) Page which calls the script - form.php

<form action="results2.php" method='POST'">
 <B>County:</B><br>
     <select name="address_region">
     <option value="none">select county
     <option value="Co. Carlow">Co. Carlow
     <option value="Co. Clare">Co. Clare
     <option value="Co. Cork">Co. Cork
     </select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

(b) Page which processes the passed variable.

<?php
   include 'db.inc';
   include 'error.inc';

      die("Could not connect to database");

   if (!mysql_select_db("processors_list2", $connection))
      showerror();
