Wordpress get posts as a function

Hi I'm trying to create a function to show a list of posts in my admin menu of wordpress but because I'm calling the function a few times on the same page I needed to add some extra statements but it breaks the output and I don't know why

Here is my current code that outputs the basics:

function test() {
    // The Query
    query_posts( array ('posts_per_page' => -1 ) );
    // The Loop
     while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 
     ?>
    <option value="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></option>
    <?php endwhile;
    // Reset Query
    wp_reset_query();
    }

Output code:

<select>
<?php test(); ?>
</select>

Returned Output:

<select>
<option value="http://website/posttitle1">POST TITLE 1</option>
<option value="http://website/posttitle2">POST TITLE 2</option>
<option value="http://website/posttitle3">POST TITLE 3</option>
</select>

But I need to add a select option on like this:

function test($select) {
    // The Query
    query_posts( array ('posts_per_page' => -1 ) );
    // The Loop
     while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 
     if ($select == the_permalink()) { $selected = " selected"; }
     ?>
    <option value="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></option><?php echo "\n"; ?>
    <?php endwhile;
    // Reset Query
    wp_reset_query();
    }

Output code:

<select>
<?php test("..GET Permalink from Database.."); ?>
</select>

But then this is my output:

<select>
http://website/posttitle1<option value="http://website/posttitle1">POST TITLE 1</option>
http://website/posttitle2<option value="http://website/posttitle2">POST TITLE 2</option>
http://website/posttitle3<option value="http://website/posttitle2">POST TITLE 3</option>
</select>

I dont understand?
