title: How to make it so it is not selecting the data first in Drop down Box
body: <p>I have an issue where the name is populating first. I am not sure how to create a blank selected field on this drop down Box.   </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;li id="li_7" &gt;
              &lt;label class="description" for="Contact"&gt;Contact&lt;/label&gt;
              &lt;div&gt;
                  &lt;?php
  
      try {
  
      $dbName = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\fpdb\\staffing.mdb";
       $db = new PDO("odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};charset=UTF-8; DBQ=$dbName; Uid=; Pwd=;");
  
      }
      catch (PDOException $e) {
        echo $e-&gt;getMessage();
      }
      $sql="SELECT FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, SCHEDULEPRIORTY  FROM tbl_USERS WHERE (SCHEDULEPRIORTY = 1) OR (SCHEDULEPRIORTY = 2) OR (SCHEDULEPRIORTY = 3)  order by FIRSTNAME";
  
      /* You can add order by clause to the sql statement if the names are to be displayed in alphabetical order */
  
      echo "&lt;select id='Contact' name=Contact value=''&gt;Contact&lt;/option&gt;"; // list box select command
      foreach ($db-&gt;query($sql) as $row){//Array or records stored in $row
      echo "&lt;option value=$row[FIRSTNAME],$row[LASTNAME]&gt;$row[FIRSTNAME]  $row[LASTNAME]&lt;/option&gt;"; 
  
      /* Option values are added by looping through the array */ 
      }
      echo "&lt;/select&gt;";// Closing of list box
  
  
      ?&gt;
