Your code displays fine for me. You can grab the data after the form has been submitted as POST data.
After the form is submitted, the selected values will be stored like:
$month = $_POST['month'];
$year = $_POST['year'];
echo $month . "<br>" . $year;
etc, etc
Don't forget to add in your opening <form> tag, as it looks like it's missing.
