Form field data pulled from database

[eluser]mdcode[/eluser]
I do apologize for my ignorance on this jedd, and all, I really do appreciate the help. I have just tried sending an array as the result but no change, the drop down is still as above. However, I have put in the var_dump (I admit I have never heard of this before) and it has text on the page but I have no idea what it means or says:

Code:

object(CI_DB_mysql_result)#17 (7) { ["conn_id"]=>  resource(33) of type (mysql link persistent) ["result_id"]=>  resource(45) of type (mysql result) ["result_array"]=>  array(0) { } ["result_object"]=>  array(0) { } ["current_row"]=>  int(0) ["num_rows"]=>  int(2) ["row_data"]=>  NULL }

I'm presuming that it is picking up data as the num_rows is showing as 2, which is precisely the number of customers there are in the customers table.
