 $value_from_array=$_POST['$data'];
 //for example
 if ($value_from_array[0]==5){
 // instructions
 }
 
 But would be easier you didn't use the $ in the name
 
 for(i=0;i<5;i++){
 echo"<select name=\"\data[]\">";
 echo"<option value=\"1\">1</option>";
 echo"<option value=\"1\">2</option>";
 echo"<option value=\"1\">3</option>";
 echo"</select>";
 }
 
 $value_from_array=$_POST['data'];
 if ($value_from_array[0]==5){
 // instructions
 }
