$conn = mysql_connect( "localhost", "<USERNAME>", "<PASSWORD>" );
mysql_select_db ( "dogs", $conn );

$sql = "SELECT * FROM dogs_tbl";
$rs = mysql_query( $sql, $connection );

$html = "<select name='dogname'>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($rs)) {
$dogname = $row['dogname']; //this assumes that the column name is
'dogname'
$html .= "<option value='" .$dogname. "'>" .$dogname. "</option>";
}

$html .= "</select>";
