Comments

'element' must be set in your array

Notice how the argument $variables is an associative array where 'element' equals the array of identifiers.

This will not work:

print theme_select(array($array));

This will work:

print theme_select(array('element' => $array));

In general, you should not be

In general, you should not be executing this function directly.

Instead use the theme() function.

<?php
print theme('select', array('element' => $array));
?>

or use #type => 'select' within a renderable array.
