Form Select Loop Error

[ricky spires]

hello.

 

i am looping throught a select form and want to add a title as the top option that does nothing when submitted but its giving me an error:

 

Database query failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 1

 

i guess thats because it has no id .

 

how do i make it so if the option says "Select a Property Type..." it gives an error message saying to select an option if submitted. plus get rid of that error?

 

thanks

rick

 

 

<form name="submitPropType" method="GET" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
 <table class="properties" width="550" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	 <tr> <td width="350">

		 <?php
		 $propType = Prop_Types::find_all();
		 $idSelectedByUser = (isset($_GET['propType']) ? $_GET['propType'] : '');
		 echo "<select id='propType' name='propType' class='select1css required'>";
		 echo "<option name='' value='' >Select a Property Type...</option>";

		 foreach($propType as $pType) {
			 echo "<option name='" . $pType->name . "' value='" . $pType->id . "'" .
			 ($pType->id == $idSelectedByUser ? " SELECTED='SELECTED' " : "") .
			 ">" . $pType->name . "</option>";
		 }
		 echo "</select>";
		 ?>
		  <input type="submit" name="submitPropType" value="Select" class="submitBTN"/>
     	   </td>


	 <?php
	 if($_GET){
	 $propTypes = Prop_Types::find_by_id($idSelectedByUser);
	 echo '<td>You selected:'.$propTypes->name;
	 echo '<br><a href="edit_prop_type.php?id='.$_GET['propType'].'">Edit</a> -
	 <a href="delete_prop_type.php?id='.$_GET['propType'].'">Delete</a>
 </td>';
 }
 ?>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
