You're not echoing the variable...just storing something in it.

Do this:

 <option value="<?php echo date('Y/m/d'); ?>">1 month + </option>

Then access the chosen option using the following:

$_POST['choseMonth']

You've got a few things wrong.

First, inside the same folder where the code with the <form> tag exists, create a new file with name update.php and move all your php code into that.

Then, to fix the errors in your HTML, make the following change to your code,

<form action="update.php" method="POST">

Notice you had an extra '>' character after "update.php".
