valori del menu a tendina letti da tabella del database

[satifal]

<select size="1" name="provincie">
<?php
    $query = "SELECT provincia_descr FROM provincie_italiane ORDER BY provincia_descr ASC";
    $result = mysql_query($query);
    while ($record = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
        echo "<option value=\"$record[provincia_descr]\">$record[provincia_descr]</option>";
    }
?>
</select>

P.S.
In realtà sarebbe "province" e non "provincie"
