code question

[Raael]

Im trying to make a personal plugin that'll help me remember peoples birthdays. Im currently make a delete option in the settings and have a problem displaying a dropdown box.

I try to retrieve the id and name from the database and then construct a drop-down box using the data i just got. However the settings page in the admin module is empty whenever I include the code to retrieve the data from the DB. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

update.. nevermind. I found out why myself :)

I have a new question.. if i want to put a users email into the settings of my plugin how would i go about doing that? where do i obtain the information?

Im insert a setting in the install file and i want the value of the email to be that of the user.
