PHP:

$q = intval($_GET['q']);        
echo    $q ;

I get 0 as value.Need help

You are trying to convert String to int in php as there are String values in your htm code and you are trying to convert these values in int in you php code so correct your code accordingly.

if html is

<select name="users" onchange="showUser(this.value)">
  <option value="">Select a person:</option>
  <option value="abc-01">Peter Griffin</option>
  <option value="aaac-02">Lois Griffin</option>
  </select>

then php code would be.

$q = $_GET['q'];       
echo    $q ;
