State select in php?

Hi! Is there anyway to insert a State select in a php file? Searchme theme has a search box, but I need to customize it.

The code to insert a category select is:
<select name=”cat1″ class=”form-control input-lg”>
<option value=””><?php echo $CORE->_e(array(‘button’,’31’,’flag_noedit’)); ?></option>
<?php if(!isset($_GET[‘cat1’])){ $selcat = “”; }else{ $selcat = $_GET[‘cat1’]; } echo $CORE->CategoryList(array($selcat,false,0,THEME_TAXONOMY)); ?>
</select>

But I need to insert a State (not linked) search…

Any ideas???

Thanks!!!
