PHP MySQL Form Insert - php

Question

I'm creating a task management list for a project. I've created a form to add each task and echo it into a list.
I want to add a select tag to the form that will allow the user to select the size of the task (small, medium, large or extra large).
My database is set up with 3 columns a unique key that auto increments, description and status.
I want to manipulate the value of the the status at the same time I enter the description. For example selecting "small" from the drop down will give the task entered a value of "1" and a different appearance in the list than a description with a status of "2".
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!
Here is the code I have:
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root');
$query = "INSERT INTO `project1`.`tasklist` (
`key` ,
`description` ,
`status`
)
VALUES (
NULL , '".$_GET["newToDo"]."', '".$_GET["status"]."'
);";
mysql_query($query);
header('Location: index.php');
?>
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root');
foreach($_GET['toDone'] as $toDoKey) {
$query = "UPDATE `project1`.`practice` SET `status` = '0' WHERE `tasklist`.`key` =".$toDoKey.";";
mysql_query($query);
}
header('Location: index.php');
?>
<h1>Get stuff done!</h1>
<form action = "secondary.php" method="GET">
<label for="newToDo">New To Do:</label>
<input type="text" name="newToDo" id="newToDo" />
<select name="taskSize">
<option value="small" selected="selected">Small</option>
<option value="medium">Medium</option>
<option value="large">Large</option>
<option value="extraLarge">X-Large</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<h2>to do</h2>
<form action="toDone.php" method="GET">
<ul>
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root');
$query = "SELECT * FROM `project1`.`tasklist` WHERE `status` = 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row['description'];
echo "</li>";
}
?>
</ul>
<input type="submit" />
<h2>done</h2>
<ul id="dunzo">
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM `project1`.`tasklist` WHERE `status` = 0";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "<li>";
echo $row['description'];
echo "</li>";
}
?>
</ul>
What I want is to change how each new row in the list looks based on what is selected in the dropdown.
