PHP option POST is empty

I have these two input types:

The first one:

echo "<input type='radio' name='tipo_campo' value='$enum_array[$i]' required>" . '  ' .$enum_array[$i] . '<br>';

if I do:

echo $_POST['tipo_campo'];

It will display the correct value.

But for this:

echo "<option name='tipo_unid' value='$tipo_unidade[0]'>". $tipo_unidade[1] ."</option>";

the 

echo $_POST['tipo_unid'];

Will be empty.

I have tested the $tipo_unidade[0] separately, and it has the correct value, so I know that's not the problem.

Why does the first POST display the correct value, and the second one is empty?

Thanks for your time!

For option we should not use name there we are only supposed to give value name has to give in the select tag

For example

<select name="xxx">
<option value="1">one</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
</select>

Sure this will helps you

try this

<select name="tipo_unid">
   <option value=<?=$tipo_unidade[0];?>><?=$tipo_unidade[1];?></option>
</select>

print_r($_POST); or echo $_POST['tipo_unid'];
