How can the issue of only one entry being displayed in the select box be resolved?

Issue: The select box is only displaying one entry because the loop that populates the options is not iterating through all the entries in the database. To resolve this, we need to make sure that the loop retrieves all the entries and adds them as options in the select box. 

<?php
// Connect to the database
$connection = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database');

// Query to retrieve all entries from the database
$query = "SELECT * FROM entries";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Create select box and populate options
echo '<select>';
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo '<option value="' . $row['id'] . '">' . $row['name'] . '</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

// Close database connection
mysqli_close($connection);
?>
