Well, I wanted you to think a bit instead of giving you the solution.
See, a typical <select> is something like:
<select ... >
<option ...> ... </option>
<option ...> ... </option>
<option ...> ... </option>
<option ...> ... </option>
</select>
So the code structure has to be something like:
echo "<select ... >";
while (whatever)
{
echo "<option ... > ... </option>";
}
echo "</select>";
In your case, you were doing something like:
while (mysql_fetch_array()
{
echo "<select ...>";
while (mysql_fetch_array())
{
echo "<option ... > </option>";
}
}
Your code was fetching a row, DO NOTHING WITH IT, echo the <select>, and
then echo()ing the rest of the rows. Do you see the problem now?
