html select inside table

i have a table that is built off a select statement pulling records from mysql. the table has the following fields.

 

id,transaction_date,description,check_number,amount,transaction_category

 

I import a csv that has all the info but the transaction_category. I want to have a select box that is created from a separate query in each row of the html table. The idea is i can quickly assign a category to a transaction using the drop down and save my changes. I am stuck on to areas.

 

1. The select box is off by one column in my table

2. Only the first select box has data.

 

I get a correct looking table with all the data and the select dropdown on every row.

echo '<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" class="db-table">';
		echo '<tr><th>ID</th><th>Date</th><th>Description</th><th>Check Number</th><th>Amount<th>Category</th></tr>';
		while($row = $sql_select->fetch())
                {
			echo '<tr>';
			foreach($row as $key=>$value)
                        {
				echo '<td>',$value,'</td>';
                                
                         
			}
                        
                               echo "<td>";
                                echo "<select name=\"category\">";
                            while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($results_cate)) 
                            {        
                                echo "<option value='".$row2['category']."'>".$row2['category']."</option>";
                                
                            }
                            echo "</select>";
                            echo "<td>";
                        
                        echo "</tr>";
			//echo '</tr>';
		}
		echo '</table><br />';

well while i was trying the suggestions above i realized i have another issue. I am converting over to PDO and i know nothing about it. Looks like i can't have two querys. Here is what i have. It gives me a php parser error on the second query. I can't test the solution for the html select untill i get this fix i guess. I can post a new topic if thats what i need to do.

 try
 {
  $DBH = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=xxxxxx", xxxx, xxxx);
 }
 catch(PDOException $e) {  
    echo $e->getMessage();
 }
 $sql_select = $DBH->query('SELECT * FROM `transaction`');

# setting the fetch mode  
$sql_select->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);  
$results = mysql_query($sql_select);

//sql_select_cate = $DBH->query('select * from `categories`');

# setting the fetch mode  
sql_select_cate->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$results_cate = mysql_query($sql_select_cate);
