What potential issues could arise when using multiple drop-down menus in PHP forms?

One potential issue when using multiple drop-down menus in PHP forms is that the selected values may not be properly processed or validated. To solve this, you can assign unique names to each drop-down menu and use an associative array to handle the submitted values. 

// Example PHP code snippet to handle multiple drop-down menus in a form

// HTML form with multiple drop-down menus
<form method="post" action="process.php">
    <select name="menu1">
        <option value="option1">Option 1</option>
        <option value="option2">Option 2</option>
        <option value="option3">Option 3</option>
    </select>
    <select name="menu2">
        <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 to handle form submission
$menu1 = $_POST['menu1'];
$menu2 = $_POST['menu2'];

// Validate and process the selected values
if(isset($menu1) && isset($menu2)){
    // Handle the selected values
    echo "Selected value from menu 1: " . $menu1 . "<br>";
    echo "Selected value from menu 2: " . $menu2;
} else {
    echo "Please select values from both menus.";
}
