Name        : function PopulateSelectOptions()
Author        : fernando ayala
Created        : May 4, 2001
Version        : 1.15

        $tblkeyvarname                (required) Name of table's key field
        $tblkeyvaluesname        (required) Name of column that describes key field (usually the
displayable value in the <select> options)
        $defval                        (optional) Default key value, if any. <select> displays
this value by default

Return Value(s)                        $success: returns 1 if query was successful, 0 if query
failed
