Okay im not sure i understand you- you want to create a page where it will
suck an item out of a database, and use it to choose which item in a drop
down menu should be selected?
If so, you can try something like
<select name="catagory>
<option value="0"<?php if ($catagory == 0) {echo " selected"};
?>>Action</option>
<option value="1"<?php if ($catagory == 1) {echo " selected"};
?>>Comedy</option>
<option value="2"<?php if ($catagory == 2) {echo " selected"};
?>>Etc.</option>
</select>
