Code not working... can't figure out why

[duckduckgoose]

I have an editable form that includes a dropdown menu. I want the value that was previously selected to be highlighted upon editing the form.

I'm using the following code, which works for the other dropdowns on my form, but not for this one. I've checked, double-checked, and triple-checked the table names, field names, and syntax, and I just flat out don't understand what's wrong with the code.

As an example, here's the basic structure of the tables I'm querying:

Color_Menu

ID  Name  Item
1  Red  Hat
2  Blue  Hat
3  Green Shirt
4  Yellow Pants
5  Pink  Shirt

User_Menu

ID User  FavColor
1  Bob  Red  

2  Ben  Blue
3  Ken  Blue
4  Max  Red
5  Sam  Yellow

Here's the code I'm trying to use:

<?


    $result = mysql_query('SELECT FavColor FROM User_Menu WHERE ID = ' . $_GET['ID'])
    or exit(mysql_error()); 
    $colorX = $row['FavColor']; 

    $result = mysql_query('SELECT Color FROM Color_Menu ORDER BY Color')
    or exit(mysql_error());

    echo "<select name=\"colors\" class=\"selects\">";
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $colorY = $row['Color'];
?> 
<option value="<? echo "$colorY"; ?>" <? if (!(strcmp($colorY, "$colorX"))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>><? echo "$colorY"; ?>

<? 
        } 
        echo "</select>";
?>

<?

    $result = mysql_query('SELECT FavColor FROM User_Menu WHERE ID = ' . $_GET['ID'])
    or exit(mysql_error());
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)
    $colorX = $row['FavColor'];

    $result = mysql_query('SELECT Color FROM Color_Menu ORDER BY Color')
    or exit(mysql_error());

    echo "<select name=\"colors\" class=\"selects\">";
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $colorY = $row['Color'];

?>
<option value="<? echo "$colorY"; ?>" <? if (!(strcmp($colorY, "$colorX"))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>><? echo "$colorY"; ?>

<?
}
echo "</select>";
?>
