Linking a Custom Post Type to a Custom Post Type

Thanks.

This is what I am aiming for.

	$pro_area_array = array();
	$pro_area_args = array(
		'post_type' => 'proarea',
		'publish_status' => 'publish',
		'posts_per_page' => -1,
		'order' => 'ASC'
	);
	$pro_area_query = new WP_Query($pro_area_args);
	if($pro_area_query->have_posts()) {
		$i = 0;
		while($pro_area_query->have_posts()) {
			$pro_area_query->the_post();
			$pro_area_array += array($i => get_the_title());
			$i++;
		}
	}
	wp_reset_query();

	$pro_areas = array();
	foreach ($pro_area_array as $key => $value) {
		$pro_areas[] = $value;
	}
/*
	$pro_areas = array(
		'One',
		'Two',
		'Three'
	);
*/
	echo '<span><label for="pro-area">Professional Area: </label></span>';
	echo '<select name="pro-area">';

	foreach($pro_areas as $pro_area) {
		if($pro_area == get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pro-area', true))
			echo '<option selected>'. $pro_area .'</option>';
		else
			echo '<option>'. $pro_area .'</option>';
	}

	echo '</select>';
}

Now the dropdown is populated correctly, and using a “simple” array does as you expect, but whenever I try and use the actual array, the permalink is changed to the last pro-area.

EDIT: As soon as I try to pul in the pro-area posts, it screws things over, changing the permalink and not saving/selecting the option.
