     <option>

       <?php
         $sql = "SELECT nome_votacao FROM votacoes WHERE user_id = $_SESSION['id']";
         $rs = mysql_query($sql);                       
         while($row = mysql_fetch_row($rs))

       ?>   

    </option>

</select>

Answer 1

Your <option> needs to be in your loop:

<select name="votacao" size="1">


       <?php
         $sql = "SELECT nome_votacao FROM votacoes WHERE user_id = $_SESSION['id']";
         $rs = mysql_query($sql);                       
         while($row = mysql_fetch_row($rs)) {
             echo sprintf("<option>%s</option>\n", $row['nome_votacao']);  
         }      
       ?>   



</select>

You probably need to also add a unique ID as the value attribute for each <option> for this to be truly useful.

         $rs = mysql_query($sql);                        
         while($row = mysql_fetch_row($rs))  
             echo "<option>".$row['nome_votacao']."</option>";
