Place the id in the value attribute of the options.

echo '<option value="'.$row["id"].'">'.$pav.'</option>';

Give the select a name.

<form action="process.php" method="post">
    <select name="motherboard">
        <option value="1">Name1</option>
        <option value="2">Name2</option>
        <option value="3">Name3</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

And retrieve it in your php file using $_POST or $_GET depending on the method, or simply $_REQUEST.

$_POST["motherboard"] // contains the selected value

You need to give your option a value

echo "<option value='$pav'>$pav</option>";

Then you can retrieve the data with

$_POST['motinine'] if using POST

$_GET['motinine'] if using GET

or

$_REQUEST['motinine'] with either one.
