echo"<select name=\"$number\" size=\"1\">";  // in this statement you are
asking that a number be a variable in php and that is not permitted.
try:
for ($i=0;$i<=10;$i++)
    {
    echo "<select name=\"var_name[$i]\" >";  // this way your select name is
"var_name[1]" and not 1

also,
echo "<option value=\"$productCode\">$productCode</option><br>";

try instead,
echo "<option>$productCode;  // no <br> needed here and the <option> doesn't
need a value
