display result based on drop down list

I would like to display the result which I have selected based on the drop down list. This is my drop down list code which is retrieved from the finish_product under bom table (calculate.php)

<tr>
Select product:
<select class="itemTypes">
<?php
while ($row1 = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row1['finish_product']; ?>">
<?php echo $row1['finish_product']; ?>
</option>
<?php } ?></select>
<br/><br/>
</tr>

For example, under the drop down list I selected 'Table', how do I display the result in doCalculate.php?

Right now I just hard code Table which is not feasible. Anyone to help me out?

There are many, many ways which you could accomplish your goal. I would suggest using a JavaSctipt "onchange" event, detect the selected option, and then update the DOM with its contents.
