Stumped as to why I can't query properly from a form!

Hi,

I am fairly new to PHP and I got an issue which I can not solve, I can realy use some help.

 

I created a form that GETs two input variables and spits to another script that I created which querries, fetches and displays data from a DB. The problem is that if I select my first non empty option from (name="from" and name="to') everything works fine, however if I choose a any other option from name="to" other than "LC & I Berlin..." nothing happens on the querry side.

 

Here is my form.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<?php include("includes/connect.php"); ?>
</head>
<body>

<form action="test2_php.php" method="GET">
Where are you calling from : 
<select name="from">
<option></option>
<option value="LC & I Berlin Office">LC & I Berlin Office</option>
<option value="Germany">Germany</option>
</select>
Where are you calling to: 
<select name="to">
<option></option>
<option value="LC & I Berlin Office">LC & I Berlin Office</option>
<option value="Germany">Germany</option>
<option value="LC & I SAS Douarnenez-Office">LC & I SAS Douarnenez - Office</option>
<option value="LC & I SAS Levallois-Office">LC & I SAS Levallois - Office</option>
<option value="Media5 Europe–Office">Media5 Europe – Office</option>
<option value="Canada">Canada</option>
<option value="United States">United States</option>
<option value="France">France</option>
<option value="My Mailbox">My Mailbox</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>	
</body>
</html>

End of Code

 

Here is my post script running the querry. I've included comments for ease of reading

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<?php include("includes/connect.php"); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// Check to see if the values were seleted, if one of them is missing then display message.
if (($_GET["from"] != NULL) AND ($_GET["to"] != NULL)) {
echo "You are calling from: ";
echo $_GET["from"];
echo "<br />";
echo "You are calling to: " ;
echo $_GET["to"] . "<br/>";
} else {
echo "Did you forget something! Please go back and fill in the missing details." . "<br />" ;
}

// Assign the input selection to variables.
$infrom = $_GET["from"];
$outto = $_GET["to"];

// Print out the varibales for testing
echo "<br /> Variable definition check";
echo "<br />from " . $infrom . "<br />";
echo "to " . $outto. "<br /><br />";

// Fetch the results the voip_lagasse DB for rows outto and infrom
$query = "SELECT * FROM voip_lagasse WHERE (outto = '$outto') AND (infrom = '$infrom')"; 
$result = mysql_query($query);

// Test to see if query worked properly
if (!$result)
{
die ("Could not query the database: <br />". mysql_error());
}
// Print out the results from the rows instruct, comment and digit
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
                                echo $row[instruct]. '<br />';
	       echo $row[comment]. '<br />'; 						       echo $row[digit]. '<br />';
}

?>
</body>
</html>

END of Code
