$_POST['market'] won't exist if you haven't chosen one.
Turn on your error reporting and you should see something appropriate.
At a bare minimum, adding ...
isset($_POST['market'])
as the first thing to test (before seeing if the value is in
$market_name (though I would have thought $market_names would have
been a better name for the variable - implies more than 1 market).
