elem.value = "<?php echo $row_tournaments['city']; ?>";
/*document.forms["form"].submit();*/
}
</script>
And dont know why is it, someone please help. Cumps.

Answer 1

You are defining your function in a loop. Over and over again. So when you call your function, which one should it call? Probably all previous ones have been overwritten by the last version.
You should define your function outside of any loop and then call it with the parameters that you have available in the loop.
Apart from that you are also adding elements with ID's in your loop. ID's need to be unique as well so you should use classes or give them a unique ID.

Answer 2

a real php programmer knows this (meaning i am not one). been a while away from php.
ok first as i see it you never get your first row from result set (someone advise here). you are checking to see if you have rowcount then plod about. i reserve the right to be very wrong.
try something like
if ($result) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// output $row info
}
}
else {
echo "nada";
}
put your script for the function at the top
don't surround the main div section creations like you are with a loop
