How can conditional statements be used in PHP to execute specific actions based on the selected dropdown option in a form submission?

To execute specific actions based on the selected dropdown option in a form submission, you can use conditional statements in PHP. You can check the value of the dropdown option submitted in the form and then perform different actions based on that value. By using if-else or switch statements, you can easily handle different scenarios and execute specific code blocks accordingly. 

// Assuming a form with a dropdown named 'dropdown_option'
$selectedOption = $_POST['dropdown_option'];

if ($selectedOption == 'option1') {
    // Execute specific action for option 1
    echo "Option 1 selected!";
} elseif ($selectedOption == 'option2') {
    // Execute specific action for option 2
    echo "Option 2 selected!";
} else {
    // Default action if none of the options match
    echo "Default option selected!";
}
