    <?php
    echo "<select name=\"Reservation ID\" form=\"form\">";
    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) 
    {
        $gg = $row['reserve_id'];
         echo "<option value='" . $gg . "' name=\"reserve_id\">" . $gg . "</option>";
    }
    echo "</select>";
    $_SESSION['reserve'] = $gg;
    ?>
    <input type="submit" name="form" value="Submit">
</form>

This is of course a duplicate question.

EDIT:

After loop execution $gg will point to the last value in the list (1002 in this case). I believe you are trying to access the value of the user-chosen <option> of the <select> which can be done by:

In edit.php:

<form id="form" action="test.php" method="post">
    <?php
        echo "<select name=\"Reservation_ID\" form=\"form\">";
        while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) 
        {
            $gg = $row['reserve_id'];
            echo "<option value='" . $gg . "' name=\"reserve_id\">" . $gg . "</option>";
        }
        echo "</select>";
        $_SESSION['reserve'] = $gg;//this is not required to get <select> value, but may be relevant to what you are doing otherwise
    ?>
    <input type="submit" name="form" value="Submit">
</form>

In test.php:

$y = $_SESSION[''];//this is not required to get <select> value, but may be relevant to what you are doing otherwise
if(isset($_POST['form']))
{
    echo $_POST['Reservation_ID'];
}
