Just use the array of options  to see  which option is currently selected    options   array   one    two    three       output       for   i 0   i lt count  options    i          output      lt option                       GET  sel       options  i     selected  selected              gt                    options  i                    lt  option gt        Sidenote  I would define a value to be some kind of id for each element  else you may run into problems  when two options have the same string representation

foreach   array as  value   gt   name         echo   lt option value      htmlentities  value              GET  sel        value      selected  selected        gt     htmlentities  name      lt  option gt        This is fairly neat  and  I think  self-explanatory

This is simple example by using ternary operator to set selected selected   lt  php  plan   array  1    gt   Green   2   gt  Red       gt   lt select class  form-control  title  Choose Plan  gt   lt  php foreach   plan as  key   gt   value      gt     lt option value   lt  php echo  key   gt    lt  php echo   key      2       selected  selected          gt  gt  lt  php echo  value   gt  lt  option gt   lt  php     gt   lt  select gt
