My favourite way of doing this (in PHP) is:

<?php

$started = FALSE;
while ($data = pg_fetch_array($results))
{
if (!$started)
{
print "<select blah blah blah>\n";
$started = TRUE;
}
printf("\t<option>%s</option>\n", htmlentities($data['option']));
}
if ($started)
print "</select>\n";

unset($started);

?>
