How can the selected value from a dropdown menu in a form be determined in PHP?

To determine the selected value from a dropdown menu in a form in PHP, you can use the $_POST superglobal array to access the value that was submitted when the form was submitted. Make sure the dropdown menu in your form has a name attribute so that you can reference it in your PHP code. 

// Assuming the dropdown menu in the form has a name attribute of 'dropdown'
if(isset($_POST['dropdown'])){
    $selectedValue = $_POST['dropdown'];
    echo "The selected value is: " . $selectedValue;
}
