if you post or get the form $choice is there for php. this is how form
submission works in php.

try this:

<?php
echo("$choice<br>");
?>

<form action="#" method="post">

<select name="choice">
<option>aaa
<option>bbb
<option>ccc
<option>ddd
</select>

<input type="submit" value="default value">
</form>

>                 </select>
>                 <input type="submit" name="toB_1">

>         <form action = "page B" method="post">
>                 <select name="cmbox2">
>                     <option>aaa
>                     <option>bbb
>                 </select>
>                 <input type="submit" name="toB_2">
