Just an educated guess, but I would look for encoding issues ­ do you have
any non-ASCII characters in the value list that could be encoded on the way
back to the database? This would most likely cause a mismatch between the
incoming value and the value list entry it¹s supposed to represent. Try
printing the POST array to see exactly what it contains.
