How can PHP handle passing values to dropdown menus and text areas in HTML forms?

To pass values to dropdown menus and text areas in HTML forms using PHP, you can use the `selected` attribute for dropdown menus and the `value` attribute for text areas. You can set the selected option in the dropdown menu based on the value passed from PHP, and populate the text area with the value passed from PHP.

&lt;select name=&quot;dropdown&quot;&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;option1&quot; &lt;?php if($selectedValue == &#039;option1&#039;) echo &#039;selected&#039;; ?&gt;&gt;Option 1&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;option2&quot; &lt;?php if($selectedValue == &#039;option2&#039;) echo &#039;selected&#039;; ?&gt;&gt;Option 2&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;option3&quot; &lt;?php if($selectedValue == &#039;option3&#039;) echo &#039;selected&#039;; ?&gt;&gt;Option 3&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;

&lt;textarea name=&quot;textarea&quot;&gt;&lt;?php echo $textAreaValue; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
