        $name = "Flush Head Studs";
    }else if($row['type'] == "so" OR $row['type'] == "sos"){

    your result is correct! if you change your code like this, you can see why …

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)){
    if($row['type'] == "fh" OR $row['type'] == "fhs"){
        $name = "Flush Head Studs ".$row['type'];
    }else if($row['type'] == "so" OR $row['type'] == "sos"){
        $name = "Through Standoffs ".$row['type'];
    }
    $category .= '<option value="'.$row['type'].'" name="'.$row['type'].'">' . $name . '</option>';
}

    if you want select all types, i suggest you to add a description or name column to your table … because you youse all of your types as value in the select-field.
