How can the array keys be effectively utilized as option values in PHP select dropdown lists?

To utilize array keys as option values in PHP select dropdown lists, you can loop through the array and use the keys as the option values. This allows you to easily access the corresponding values associated with each key when the user selects an option from the dropdown list.

<select name="dropdown">
    <?php
    $options = array(
        'key1' => 'Option 1',
        'key2' => 'Option 2',
        'key3' => 'Option 3'
    );
    
    foreach ($options as $key => $value) {
        echo "<option value='$key'>$value</option>";
    }
    ?>
</select>
