You could have if statements for every option.
May be better if you have a for loop for some of the options -- SEE BELOW.
e.g
<TR><TD><B><?php echo("cell name")?>:</B></TD>
<TD><select name="cellname">
<?php
//Do some database stuff (connect, query, get result etc etc) to get
the value that is stored. Put the number into the variable $var
for ($i=1904;$i<1912;$i++)
{
printf("<option value='%s'",$i);
if ($var == $i)
printf(" selected");
printf("> %s</option>",$i);
}
printf("<option value='1916'");
if ($var == '1916')
printf(" selected");
printf("> 1916</option>");
printf("<option value='volta'");
if ($var == 'volta')
printf(" selected");
printf("> volta</option>");
printf("<option value='scatt11'");
if ($var == 'scatt11')
printf(" selected");
printf("> scatt11</option>");
?>
</select>
</TD></TR>
