        $postQuery="SELECT DISTINCT labelName FROM posts";
        $postResult=mysqli_query($conn,$postQuery);
     ?>


    <form action="inc/set.php" method="post" enctype="multiform/partdata">
        <input type="text" name="title" value="Add Title"><br>
        <select name="lable" >

            <option value="empty">Empty</option>

            <?php foreach ($postResult as $post) {;?>

                <option value="<?php echo $post['labelname'];?>"><?php echo $post['labelName'];?> 
                </option>
