Cant get results from dynamically populated drop down list

[link7722]

I am using a drop down list which is dynamically populated from mysql succesfully with the following code

<select name="user" id="user">

<?php

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {

echo "<option value=\"".$row['id']."\">".$row['username']."\n ";

}

?>

</select>

My problem is that when i use $username = $_POST['user']; to get the result from the list its empty.

What am i doing wrong?

Are you sure the list is displaying correctly, as you're missing the closing tag for the < option >:

 

echo "<option value=\"".$row['id']."\">".$row['username']."</option>\n ";
}

Although the dropdown list displayed ok, i changed the code to

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
	echo "<option>$row[username]</option>";

and everything works ok.

Thank you for your help GuiltyGear
