Use jQuery and send your data to the bank with Ajax:

$('select[name="combobox"]').change(function(){

   var text = $('select[name="combobox"] option:selected').text();

   $.ajax({
      url: "savar-no-bd.php",
      type: "POST",
      data: {texto: text},
      success: function(data){
         console.log(data);
      }
   }); 
});

    });
});
