use the basis MYSQL troubleshooting technique:
mysql_query() OR DIE( mysql_error());
Echo out your SQL queries, and test in phpmyadmin.
If you're eembedding arrays into a string, use the courly brackets around these values, like:
echo "<option value='{$rows["mem_id"]}'>{$rows["mem_id"]}--{$rows["mem_name"]}</option>\n";
Inside your while cycles, print out your $row and $rows arrays.
print_r($row);
Lastly, mysql_fetch_assoc() is a better choice becouse mysql_fetch_array() contains your data as doubled associated and numerical arrays available, then you're just waste the resources only.
