Select Box, drop down menu

[networkthis]

How do you get the selected value of a select box/drop menu?

I'm trying to simply get the value of the select box upon hitting the submit button. 

 

<?php 

<select name=select box>
<option value=\"$value\" >$value
</select>

?>

[networkthis]

Ok I accidently posted this before I was done writing the code........sorry....... anyways... I answered my own question. 

 

To select the value of the select box in a drop menu/select box you simply need to

 

<?php

echo $_POST['nameOFyourSELECTbox'];

?>
