Without part of the code it's difficult to tell what's wrong with it, could
just be that you have a column called 'xXxxx' in the table while you do your
while loop (or what you use to populate the drop down menu) you may referring
to 'xYxxx', which leads to a null-string (nothing) instead of the string it
should have echoed.
