title: Using $_POST to get select option value from HTML
body: <p>I use <code>select</code> as below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select name="taskOption"&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;First&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;Second&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;Third&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I get the value from the <code>select</code> option and store it into a variable for future use, in PHP?</p>
