Getting Select and Option value using PHP - php

Question

I would like to create a form where I can upload an image and add a Name dropdown field with values coming from a table namely first name and last name using CONCAT to combine them into a complete name.
The dropdown field has the values coming from the table and works just fine.
My only problem is I can't get the value of the dropdown field to store into a variable so I can include it on the insert query.
I tried getting the value of the option tag through the post method by getting it from the select tag using the name property.
<?php
include('adminheader.php');
include('connection.php');
if (isset($_POST["insert"])) {
if (!$_POST['description']) {
$error = "<p>Description field is required</p>";
}
$ownerselected = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['owner']);
$ownerselected1 = "hello";
$imagedescription = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['description']);
$file = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"]));
$query = "INSERT INTO images(name,description,ownerid,uploaderid) VALUES ('$file','$imagedescription','$ownerselected','$userLoggedIn')";
if (mysqli_query($link, $query)) {
$notification = "Image successfully inserted " . $ownerselected1;
}
}
?>
<br/><br/>
<div class="imagecontainer container">
<div class="logincontainer">
<div id="error"><?php echo $error; ?></div>
<div id="error"><?php echo $notification; ?></div>
<div style="width:500px;">
<h3 align="center"><strong>Select an Image to upload</strong></h3>
<br/>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<?php
$query = "SELECT CONCAT(fname,' ',lname)AS Name FROM person";
$result = mysqli_query($link, $query);
?>
<br/>
<div class="form-group"> <!--Start of image upload -->
<label for="image">Click Browse to locate image</label>
<input type="file" name="image" id="image"/> <!--end of image upload -->
<br/>
<div class="form-group"> <!--Start of image description -->
<label for="description">Image Description</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="description" id="description"
placeholder="Enter txt">
</div> <!--end of image description -->
<div class="form-group"><!--start of owner dropdown -->
<label for="owner">Image Owner</label>
<select class="form-control" id="owner" name="owner">
<?php while ($row1 = mysqli_fetch_array($result)):; ?>
<option value="<?php echo $row1['Name']; ?>">
<?php echo $row1['Name']; ?>
</option>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</select>
</div> <!--end of owner dropdown -->
<input type="submit" name="insert" id="insert" value="Insert" class="btn btn-info"/>
</form>
<br/>
<br/>
When I run the script, everything looks fine on the front end but when I perform the insert, only the image gets written on the table and imageowner column has no value. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
