Selects in PHP

Let's now learn how to work with the select tag in PHP. Let's make such a dropdown list in our form:

html<form action="" method="GET">
  <select name="test">
    <option>item1</option>
    <option>item2</option>
    <option>item3</option>
  </select>
  <input type="submit">
</form>

After submitting the form, $_GET of the select will contain the value of the selected option tag:

html<?php
  var_dump($_GET['test']); // 'item1', 'item2' or 'item3'
?>
