Hi,
Here's how I would have written the code to build the select box:
<?php
$res=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT job_name AS JOB_NAME FROM
oats_jobs_users_laborCode where user='$username' order by job_name") or
die('Query failed');
echo "<select name='jobname'><option SELECTED='SELECTED'>Choose
One</option>";
foreach($row as mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
echo "<option value='{$row[JOB_NAME]}'>{$row[JOB_NAME]}</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
?>
also, make sure that the $username variable doesn't have a quote (') in
it or the query will fail
regards,
shubeer
