The only thing I haven't been able to figure out, is how to pull the information for the current awards, so that they can be listed for selecting in the form to submit request for an award. If I had more knowledge of mySQL I would probably have this done by now. Everything else works like a charm

Any ideas, possibly from the author? Can you help me call a list of available awards to put in something like this:
<select>
<option value=$awardid>$awardname
<option value=$awardid>$awardname
</select>
Obviously they would have to be different, but I am apparently not versed enough in mySQL to get the job done quite yet. Any help would be appreciated
