I have <select> with several options, while selecting an option, I want the form to be submitted to the same page and I'll get the value per php on the same page. For this, I have the following:

<?php
    if(isset($_POST['select_carros']))
    {
         echo $_POST['select_carros'];
    }
?>

<form action="" method="post" name="menuForm">
     <select name="select_carros">
          <option value="1">Carro 1</option>
          <option value="2">Carro 2</option>
          <option value="3">Carro 3</option>
     </select>
</form>

Basically, what I want is that when choosing the option the value of this option is printed. For example, I choose the option "Car 2" and it will be printed "2"

Just use onChange:

<form action="" method="post" name="menuForm" onchange="this.form.submit();">

The action of your form should be submitted to the same page, so you can get the value "2" in $ _POST ['select_carros'].

<form action="mesma_pagina.php" method="post" name="menuForm">
