And i store these items in a database with a name $_POST['imagelist'].

Anybody plz tell that whats the mistake in my code.plz help me.

Change <td><select name="imagelist" id="imagelist" multiple="multiple"> to <td><select name="imagelist[]" id="imagelist" multiple="multiple"> and you should get the options selected back to PHP in an array named imagelist. You will of course have to get the POST values into your variable using:
$imagelist = $_POST['imagelist'];
print_r($imagelist); // show the values that were selected

Depends on the table being used and what columns you have defined.

Well, $imagelist = $_POST['imagelist']; will put all the items into an array in the $imagelist variable. Then, you can do a foreach() on $imagelist and insert them in your database or whatever you need to do:

foreach ($imagelist as $key => $value) {
$url = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO images SET url = '$url'");
}

This is pretty basic PHP. I would encourage you to read up on the basics of PHP.
