Ok I have created a dropdown menu I'm building in my registration form and all of the options appear locally but when published to my web server none of the options I have in my code appear, the code is:

PHP Code:

 <select size="1" name="sexuality">
            <option <?php echo ($sexuality == 'Straight')    ? 'selected' : ''; ?>>Straight</option>
            <option <?php echo ($sexuality == 'Open Minded') ? 'selected' : ''; ?>>Open Minded</option>
            <option <?php echo ($sexuality == 'Bisexual')    ? 'selected' : ''; ?>>Bisexual</option>
            <option <?php echo ($sexuality == 'Gay_Lesbian') ? 'selected' : ''; ?>>Gay_Lesbian</option>
            <option <?php echo ($sexuality == 'Other')       ? 'selected' : ''; ?>>Other</option>
          </select>

and if this is'nt correct I'm guessing this drop down menu for the age is wrong too...?

<select size="1" name="D1" style="color: #000000">
                                    <option selected>18</option>
                                    <option>19</option>
                                    <option>20</option>
                                    <option>21</option>
                                    <option>22</option>
                                    <option>23</option>
                                    <option>24</option>
                                    <option>25</option>
                                    <option>26</option>
                                    <option>27</option>
                                    <option>28</option>
                                    <option>29</option>
                                    <option>30</option>
                                    <option>31</option>
                                    <option>32</option>
                                    <option>33</option>
                                    <option>34</option>
                                    <option>35</option>
                                    <option>36</option>
                                    <option>37</option>
                                    <option>38</option>
                                    <option>39</option>
                                    <option>40</option>
                                    <option>41</option>
                                    <option>42</option>
                                    <option>43</option>
                                    <option>44</option>
                                    <option>45</option>
                                    <option>46</option>
                                    <option>47</option>
                                    <option>48</option>
                                    <option>49</option>
                                    <option>50</option>
                                    <option>50+</option>
                                    </select>

What is in html source at your server?

well with the age menu the ages do appear but without the correct php code associated with it, it wont be sent to the mysql database.

html is the only way i can get the drop down menus to display options at the server
