Not getting option value from my database...

Hello,

I am trying to get an option value from a database. I'm using the
following code snippet. This is a postgres 8.3.6 database. I am able
to use echo to get a list from the database. The code appears to
work, but later when I try to echo the id from the selected record, I
get no result. What I'm trying to do, is select the appropriate row
from the database using the options menu construct.

Can't say for sure where the problem is but seems to me that you're
using global variables instead of $_GET and $_POST. After sending the
form, you should access it's content using $_POST...

if (isset($_POST['get_name'])) {
echo "People Id = ".$_POST['GetName']."
";
}

This should solve the problem of yours.
