I have a form built in HTML. The form has 3 DropDown/List Menu’s. In additon it has standard input fields. The form simple gathers the vaules (POST) to a page which processes the script. The values are then formatted and sent to an email address. I am able to get the input fields to function properly. Those values do show up as enetered by the end user. I am not able to get the current selected value in the dropdown menu to send.

The question. How do I get PHP to grab the current value from the menu and submit it to the email addy.

I have searched this. Was unable to find an exact method.
