create a drop down on a php webpage

I wanted to create static and a dynamic drop down for an online application form on my web page

The static drop down would a list of clearance levels where the dynamic one would be based on a list of job openings (which is in turn taken from a folder that has 1 pdf file for each job opening)

the end goal is that an email would be sent to our hr director with the applicants info. and the fields in the body of the email.

开发者_开发技巧I'm fairly new to php so any help is appreciated.

    <option value="HighSchool">HighSchool</option>
