SUCCESS!!!!
Ok, I have fixed the problem. Here is the code, I hope it helps anyone that
comes accross something like this. Sorry for being a "troll".

// Displays select form of current users in database table for editing
$table = "users";
$record = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table",$dbh);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($record)) {
$user_id = $row['user_id'];
$f_name = $row['f_name'];
$l_name = $row['l_name'];
$email_addy = $row['email_addy'];
$un = $row['un'];
$pw = $row['pw'];
$option .="<OPTION VALUE=\"$user_id\">$f_name $l_name</OPTION>";
$var_form = "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"edit_account.php\">

// Takes value of "blank" and looks for a record matching selected user and
puts the results into a form for editing
$table = "auth_users";
$record = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE user_id =
'$blank'",$dbh);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($record)) {
$user_id = $row['user_id'];
$f_name = $row['f_name'];
$l_name = $row['l_name'];
$email_addy = $row['email_addy'];
$un = $row['un'];
$pw = $row['pw']; }
$var_form .= "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"7\"><form
