Question

I’m completely stumped here. I’ve written the code below and when I view the page I get a 500 error. Via process of commenting out select lines one by one I was able to find that the while statement is causing the error…could anyone tell me what could possible be wrong with my code?

<?php 
                $rQuery = "SELECT * FROM roles ORDER BY roleName ASC";
                $rResult = mysql_query($rQuery);

                if (!$rResult){
                    echo 'Query Error <br>' . $rQuery;
                    exit;
                }

            ?>
            <p>
                <select name="roleaddid" id="roleaddid" >

                  <?php while ($roles = mysql_fetch_array($rResult)){ ?>

                    <option value="<?php echo $roles['roleId'] ?>"><?php echo $roles['roleName'] ?></option>

                    <? } // end while ?>

                </select>

            </p>

thanks for any insight…

You need to fix the <? ?> around your ending brace.

Change to <?php ?>
