I know you're more experienced than this. You can't echo inside an echo. You have to concatenate variables if you're going to escape the echo. You should avoid using short tags if possible. And you certainly wouldn't have to echo all of that.

[code]<?php

if($not_play_out_date == "no") {
extract($row);
?>
<form method="post" action="update_promotor_info.php">
<select name="dates1">
<option value="<?=$dates1?>"><?=$dates1?></option>
</select>

<select name="dates2">
<option value="<?=$dates2?>"><?=$dates2?></option>
</select>

<select name="dates3">
<option value="<?=$dates3?>"><?=$dates3?></option>
</select>

<select name="dates4">
<option value="<?=$dates4?>"><?=$dates4?></option>
</select>
<?php
}
?>[/code]

You didn't even spell "name" right in one of the select elements. Also, can I ask why you only have 1 option in 4 different select boxes?? If that's going to stay the way it is, you can loop it to create them instead of repeating the same information and only changing a number.
