Here's a pure php version.

<html>
<head>
<title>Display Option</title>

</head>
<body>

<form name="form1" method="GET" action="select.php">

ex: <select name="product">
<option value="a">Apple</option>
<option value="b">Orange</option>
</select>

<p><input TYPE="submit" </p>

</form>

<?php $option_var = $_GET["product"];
print "Option Var = " . $option_var . "<br />";
?>
</body>
</html>
