I wanted to be able to allocate authors to articles so I wanted to look them up first and display a drop-down menu.

<select name="author">
<?php
$people = mgd_list_persons();
while( $people->fetch() ) {?>
<option value="$people->id">$people->rname</option>
<?
}
}
?>
</select>

This displayed a whole lot of strange users that shouldn't have been in my site group. Not sure why.
