What is the best way to pass the selected value from a dropdown menu to a PHP script?

To pass the selected value from a dropdown menu to a PHP script, you can use a form with a dropdown menu and submit button. When the form is submitted, the selected value will be sent to the PHP script using either the GET or POST method. In the PHP script, you can access the selected value using the $_GET or $_POST superglobal arrays. 

<form method="post" action="process.php">
  <select name="dropdown">
    <option value="option1">Option 1</option>
    <option value="option2">Option 2</option>
    <option value="option3">Option 3</option>
  </select>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
```

process.php:
```php
<?php
if(isset($_POST['dropdown'])) {
  $selectedValue = $_POST['dropdown'];
  echo "Selected value: " . $selectedValue;
}
?>
