I have a form with 5 dropdown lists I want to put all selected values to an
array called $data[] so i wrote sometthing like this:

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>";
}

So I think this will put all selected values into an array.
But the problem is that when user submits the form this array goes to $_POST
array
And I have no idea how to read a value from an array $data which is into
array $_POST and use it as a part of "if" statement

for example
if (value_from_array==5){
// instructions
}

Thanks for help
