What are some potential issues that can arise when using dropdowns in PHP forms?

One potential issue that can arise when using dropdowns in PHP forms is that the selected value may not be properly submitted to the server if the dropdown is not set up correctly. To solve this issue, make sure to give each dropdown an appropriate name attribute and ensure that the selected value is being passed to the server when the form is submitted. 

<select name="dropdown_name">
    <option value="option1">Option 1</option>
    <option value="option2">Option 2</option>
    <option value="option3">Option 3</option>
</select>
