-------script for querying---------

[code]
<?  

    if((!isset($_GET['id']) || trim($_GET['id']) == ''))
        {
            die('Missing record ID!');
        }

    $connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die('Unable to connect!');
    mysql_select_db(DB_NAME) or die('Unable to select database');
    $id = $_GET['id'];
    $q = "SELECT username, ServiceType FROM subscription WHERE username = '$id'";
    $w = mysql_query($q) or die("Error in query: $q. " . mysql_error());
  
    if(isset($_POST['change']))
    {
    
        $query  = "UPDATE subscription SET ServiceType = '" . $_POST['service'] . "' WHERE username = '$id'";
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());

You don't need to include the input button. If we can't figure out how you marked up your forms, then we should be called amateurs and thrown to the wolves.
That being said, did you include values and names for the options? I've done stupid stuff like that before.
