I have the following code, I am trying to make it so that the selected field displays on a php page when I return that hit the submit button, I'm doing this below.
<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
<div class="form-group">
<select class="form-control" id="inputState" style="width: 100%">
<option selected>
Choose...
</option>
<option name="account" value="1">
Minecraft Account
</option>
<option name="cape" value="2">
Minecraft Cape
</option>
</select>
</div>
<input type="submit">
</form>
this is my php echo code, but it does not work
<?php echo $_POST["account"]; ?>
<?php echo $_POST["cape"]; ?>

Set name to your select control
<select name="inputState" class="form-control"
Then you can get the "value" of selected item
<?php echo $_POST["inputState"]; ?>
