What are some potential solutions for ensuring that the default selection in a dropdown menu is empty until an option is chosen in a PHP form?

To ensure that the default selection in a dropdown menu is empty until an option is chosen in a PHP form, you can add an empty option as the first item in the dropdown menu. This way, users will see an empty option initially and will be required to select a valid option before submitting the form. 

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