I was told it not the correct way in php to do a select form but i think it's correct.

It's nothing to do with php, it's to do with HTML, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Links to check the syntax of both [url=http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_select.asp]<select>[/url] and [url=http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_option.asp]<option>[/url]

[code]
<select name="model">
  <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
  <option value="saab">Saab</option>
  <option value="opel">Opel</option>
  <option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
[/code]
