How to insert data in a dropdown list - php

Question

We managed to get the drop down list menu however, we are having difficulties getting the data from sql. So far, this is what we got.
<select>
<option id="">--Select jobscope--</option>
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("host","user","password","database");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$getIT = mysqli_query("SELECT job_title FROM `job_details`");
while($viewIT = mysqli_fetch_array($getIT)) {
}
?>
<option id="<?php echo $viewIT['job_title']?>"<?php echo $viewIT['job_title']?></option>
</select>

Answer 1

Shouldn't be like this ? with tag inside WHILE LOOP
while($viewIT = mysql_fetch_array($getIT)) {
<option id="<?php echo $viewIT['job_title']?>"<?php echo $viewIT['job_title']?></option>
}

Answer 2

$query = "SELECT * FROM test_groups_tb WHERE user_id='$userid'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$dd .= "<option value='{$row['group_id']}'>{$row['group_name']}</option>";
}

Answer 3

Try this,
<option value="">--select--</option>
<?php
while($rec = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
?>
<option value="<?=$rec['job_title']?>"><?=$rec['job_title']?></option>
<?php }
}?>
</select>

Answer 4

I am not from php background. Try this.
<?php
$query = "SELECT job_title FROM job_details";
$result = $mysqli->query( $query );
echo '<select id="domain_account" name="domain_account" class="txtBox">';
echo '<option value="">-select-</option>';
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row['job_title']; ?>"><?php echo $row['job_title']; ?></option>
<?php
}
echo "</select>";
?>

Answer 5

Better use PDO or MYSQLi . MYSQL* is depriciated
U need to use that <option id="<?php echo $viewIT['job_title']?>"<?php echo $viewIT['job_title']?></option> line b/w while loop
$getIT = mysql_query("SELECT job_title FROM `job_details`");
while($viewIT = mysql_fetch_array($getIT)) {?>
<option id="<?php echo $viewIT['job_title']?>"<?php echo $viewIT['job_title']?></option>
<?hp }?>
