Can someone help me?

Answer 1

You give your select a name atribute, then you take the whole code inside <form method="post" action="delete.php"></form> and then you use $_POST['nameattribute'].

Answer 2

Try this, To Post form elements need input name attribute,
<form name="delete" action="delete.php" method="post">
choose a site you want to delete.
<select name="name_site" id="name_site">
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<option value='".$row['name_site']."'>" . $row['name_site'] . "</option>";
}
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="delete">
</form>
in delete.php,
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
echo $_POST['name_site'];
}
?>
