When handling the selection of dropdown options based on database query results in PHP, it is recommended to use JavaScript in conjunction with PHP. JavaScript can be used to dynamically update the dropdown options based on the database query results without needing to reload the page. 

<select id="dropdown">
    <?php
    // Perform database query to fetch options
    $options = array('Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3');

    foreach ($options as $option) {
        echo '<option value="' . $option . '">' . $option . '</option>';
    }
    ?>
</select>

<script>
    // JavaScript code to handle updating dropdown options based on database query results
    // This can be done using AJAX to fetch data from PHP script and update the dropdown
</script>
