And to go from here...since now the drop-down works with displaying the contents from the MySQL DB properly in a table...I'm not sure if I should start a new thread for this, or continue on in here, but I've been out and about drinking a bit, so I'm gonna do the latter:

One field in the table that's displayed, is there anyway to have that info auto-populate another text field in a different form of the same HTML page? Either clickable to send it to the other text field in that form, or to auto-populate the text field in the other form automatically when the selection is changed from the dropdown menu? not sure if i'm being clear as my mind isn't very clear right now LOL

needs a new thread I'm afraid.

Thanks Mike, will do!
