I have the following drop down list

<select name="SelP">
    <option value="0">Please Select...</option>
    <option value="35">LS1</option>
    <option value="35">LS2</option>
    <option value="35">LS3</option>
    <option value="35">LS4</option>
    <option value="35">Postcode not Listed</option>
</select>

and I have written the PHP to work like so

<?php
//Sample Database Connection Syntax for PHP and MySQL.
//Connect To Database
$hostname="localhost";
$username="alloytes_achenry";
$password="**PASSWORD HERE**";
$dbname="alloytes_acquote";
$usertable="LocationTable";
$postcode="postcode";
mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) or die ("    <html>%MINIFYHTML4333ddb1f6ba50276851b9f9854a5c817%</html>");
mysql_select_db($dbname);
# Check If Record Exists
$query = "SELECT * FROM $usertable WHERE minimumprice = 35";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if($result)
{
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$postcode = $row["$postcode"];
echo "$postcode";
}
}
?>

This works well and returns the postcode value. I now need to edit the PHP to return both $postcode and $minimumprice , and then to populate the table with the postcode going as the text and the $minimumprice as the value (value=”$minimumprice”).

Any advice where to start would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

TEST CODE 1

<?php
//Sample Database Connection Syntax for PHP and MySQL.
//Connect To Database
$hostname="localhost";
$username="alloytes_achenry";
$password="f(6@g0^O#2kT";
$dbname="alloytes_acquote";
$usertable="LocationTable";
$postcode="postcode";
$minimumprice="minimumprice";
mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) or die (" <html>%MINIFYHTML4333ddb1f6ba50276851b9f9854a5c817%</html>");
mysql_select_db($dbname);
# Check If Record Exists
$query = "SELECT * FROM $usertable";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if($result)
{
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$postcode = $row['postcode'];
$minimumprice = $row['minimumprice'];
echo <<<EOL
<option value="$minimumprice">$postcode</option>

EOL;
}
}
?>
</form>

Returns Just the postcode, any thoughts?

Thanks

    Something like this?

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
   $postcode = $row['postcode'];
   $minimumprice = $row['minimumprice'];
   echo <<<EOL
<option value="$minimumprice">$postcode</option>

EOL;
}

    note the use of a heredoc
