I am making an HTML form. I want the results to appear in the PHP script.

 <form action="chk_kw.php" method="post"> <br />

 <select> name="website_string" 
 <option value="" selected="selected"></option>
	<option VALUE="abc"> ABC</option>
	 <option VALUE="def"> def</option>
 <option VALUE="hij"> hij/option> 
			</select>
 <INPUT TYPE="submit" name="website_string" >
 </form>
 <body>
 </html> 


The problem is I cannot get the value passed to the PHP. if I use value:

 <INPUT TYPE="submit" name="website_string" value="selected" >

It always passes the text in the quotes. In this case `"selected"`. How do I pass one of the strings from the option?
 
I have been working many hours on this.
