Thanks for everyone who's chimed in so far... I appreciate the various code
snippets but I'm trying to see if I can do everything I need here using
'foreach()'...

so.. 

since this:

$query= mysql_query("select * FROM taxa_order");

  $result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
        print ("<select name=\\"order\\">");
        foreach ($result as $key=>$val)
        print "<option value=\\"$key\\">$val</option>";
        print ("</select>");

yields this:

<select name="order"><option value="order_id">1</option><option
value="order_name">Hymenoptera</option></select>

how do I get it to stop from creating two <option></option> rows (there's
only one row in the table!) and how do I get it to stop from including the
names of the columns and just including the value for each column in the one
row?
