Each option needs to have a value assigned. The text between <option>
and </option> is only visual and is not used for the actual form-data
when submitting it to the server. Hence, the code quoted above will
submit an empty value for "selected_group" regardless of what's actually
selected.

This is how you should do it:

<select name="selected_group">
<option value="Group 1">Group 1</option>
<option value="Group 2">Group 2</option>
</select>

This way, when the form is submitted, what you've defined in the
value-parameter is what is actually sent to the server.
