if you post or get the form $choice is there for php. this is how form
submission works in php.
try this:
<?php
echo("$choice<br>");
?>
<form action="#" method="post">
<select name="choice">
<option>aaa
<option>bbb
<option>ccc
<option>ddd
</select>
<input type="submit" value="default value">
</form>

> <option>bbb
> </select>

> <form action = "page B" method="post">
> <select name="cmbox3">
> <option>aaa
> <option>bbb
> </select>
> <input type="submit" name="toB_3">
> </form>
> <input type="submit" name="toC">
> </form>
