Something has to print out a basic list of choices one by one (unless, perhaps, you use Smarty).
  $conn = oci_connect("hr", "hr", "//localhost/XE");
  $stmt = "SELECT employee_id, last_name from employees order by last_name";
  $stid = oci_parse($conn, $stmt);
  oci_execute($stid);
  $num = oci_fetch_all($stid, $res);
  if ($num) {
    echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}\">\n";
    echo "<select name=\"EmployeeName\">\n";
    for ($i = 0; $i < $num; $i++ ) {
      echo "<option value=\"{$res['EMPLOYEE_ID'][$i]}\">";
      echo htmlentities($res['LAST_NAME'][$i]);
      echo "</option>\n";
    echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"OK\">\n";
    echo "</select></form>\n";

If you want to use XMLHttpRequest, look for AJAX toolkits.
