HTML select-box empty, but php generated

[kacior]

I have a really irritating problem. I have the following code:

    <select name="type_place" class="select">
        <?php
            $svar = sql("SELECT id, place FROM love_type_place ORDER BY place ASC");
            while ($info = mysql_fetch_array($svar)){
                $id = $info['id'];
                $place = $info['place'];
                echo "<option value=\"$id\">$place</option>\n";
            }
        ?>
    </select>

(the 'sql' function is correct, it works fine otherwise, it returns the answer to the mysql_query)
and it results in the following HTML-code on the page:

<select name="type_place" class="select">
        <option value="0">- - -</option>
<option value="9">Affär</option>
<option value="33">Arbete</option>
<option value="23">Badhus</option>
<option value="15">Bio</option>
<option value="22">Boningshus</option>
<option value="1">Buss</option>

<option value="2">Bussshållplats</option>
<option value="12">Café</option>
<option value="19">Dagis</option>
<option value="10">Fest</option>
<option value="32">Frisör</option>
<option value="7">Gata</option>
<option value="31">Kiosk</option>
<option value="18">Museum</option>
<option value="17">Opera</option>

<option value="8">Restaurang</option>
<option value="21">Skog</option>
<option value="20">Skola</option>
<option value="16">Teater</option>
<option value="11">Torg</option>
<option value="3">Tunnelbana</option>
<option value="4">Tunnelbanestation</option>
<option value="5">Tåg</option>
<option value="6">Tågstation</option>

</select>

But the problem is that the select box is empty!
Nothing of the information shows. But if I paste it in a new page it shows...
Does sombody see what the problem is?

Is the html outputed? ie if you right-click > view source what do you get?

The html code above is the text that is outputed when i right-click and view the source.

Is this all on it's own on the page? If not can you provide the whole source of the page?
There is no reason why this shouldn't display, unless it's being hidden by some spurious CSS or other elements.

Something you could try but shouldn't make a difference (I'm clutching at straws here)

// Before you output anything else
header('Content-type: text/html');
