Since constants are not evaluated within strings, the quotes on array
keys and curly braces are not needed.

(from http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php )
// The following is okay, as it's inside a string. Constants are not
looked for
// within strings, so no E_NOTICE occurs here
print "Hello $arr[fruit]"; // Hello apple


The OP's original syntax is valid.
echo "<option value=$nt[id]>$nt[rank] $nt[firstname]
$nt[lastname]</option>";

The formatting of the "<option ..." line is not the problem.

I'd put print_r($nt) within the while loop and look at the query results.
