                    ),
                ),
                1 => array(
                    'id' => 5,
                    'name' => 'Sportbike',
                    'description' => 'sportbike',
                    'parent_id' => 1
                ),
            ),
        ),
        1 => array(
            'id' => 4,
            'name' => 'Car',
            'description' => 'car',
            'parent_id' => 0
        ),
    );

Desirable output:

<select>
    <option id="1">Bikes</option>
    <option id="2">- Mountainbike</option>
    <option id="3">-- Mountainbike spikes</option> 
    <option id="5">- Sportbike</option> 
    <option id="4">Car</option> 
</select>

Here you go.

This code will generate select box upto 3 levels only.

<?php
$arr = array(
        0 => array(
            'id' => 1,
            'name' => 'Bikes',
            'description' => 'bikes desc',
            'parent_id' => 0,
            'childs' => array(
                0 => array(
                    'id' => 2,
                    'name' => 'Mountainbike',
                    'description' => 'mountainbike desc',
                    'parent_id' => 1,
                    'childs' => array(
                        0 => array(
                            'id' => 3,
                            'name' => 'Mountainbike spikes',
                            'description' => 'Mountainbike spikes',
                            'parent_id' => 2
                        ),
                    ),
                ),
                1 => array(
                    'id' => 5,
                    'name' => 'Sportbike',
                    'description' => 'sportbike',
                    'parent_id' => 1
                ),
            ),
        ),
        1 => array(
            'id' => 4,
            'name' => 'Car',
            'description' => 'car',
            'parent_id' => 0
        ),
    );
?>

        if(isset($levelOne['childs']) && sizeof($levelOne['childs'] > 0)) // Checking if the level has child? if yes then we again add the option along with name and id.

                $str .= '<option id="'.$levelTwo['id'].'"> -- '.$levelTwo['name'];

You can use below code for your solution.

echo "<select name=''>";
$opt = "";
if (count($array) > 0) {
    foreach ($array as $data) {
        if ($data['parent_id'] == 0) {
            $opt .= "<option value='" . $data['id'] . "'>" . $data['name'] . "</option>";
            if (count($data['childs']) > 0) {
                foreach ($data['childs'] as $child) {
                    $opt .= "<option value='" . $child['id'] . "'>-" . $child['name'] . "</option>";
                    if (count($child['childs']) > 0) {
                        foreach ($child['childs'] as $sub_child) {
                            $opt .= "<option value='" . $sub_child['id'] . "'>--" . $sub_child['name'] . "</option>";
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    echo $opt;
}
echo "</select>";

You get output like below.

 <select name=""> <option value="1">Bikes</option> <option value="2">-Mountainbike</option> <option value="3">--Mountainbike spikes</option> <option value="5">-Sportbike</option> <option value="4">Car</option> </select>
