What are common challenges faced when outputting dropdown options in PHP forms?

One common challenge when outputting dropdown options in PHP forms is populating the dropdown with dynamic data from a database. To solve this, you can query the database for the options and loop through the results to generate the dropdown options. 

<select name="dropdown">
<?php
// Assume $options is an array of options retrieved from the database
foreach ($options as $option) {
    echo "<option value='" . $option['value'] . "'>" . $option['label'] . "</option>";
}
?>
</select>
