You are correct, and I must apologize.
In addition to the modifications below I added a pair of brackets

select name=item[]
After removing those the $_POST array looks much better

Clicking on the Submit button outputs:
Request Method: POST
$_POST array contains:
Array
Why don't I see one of the values from the select item?
