Show selected dropdown option from SQL?

Ive seen this done in the past but I dont recall where, so cant find the source code to make it happen.

What I want to do is give a user a drop down option, which they select, it then stores that option in an SQL database.

The next time they return to the page, it shows them what option they chose but also the possibility of changing it in the drop down, for example:

Quote:
<select name=search>
<option value='Google'>Google</option>
<option value='Yahoo'>Yahoo</option>
<option value='Bing'>Bing</option>
<option value='DuckDuckGo'>DuckDuckGo</option>
</select>
Lets say they chose 'Google' as the option.

The next time they hit the page with this dropdown on it, the form automatically shows 'Google' as the chosen option.

How would I go about doing this on a php page, pulling the option they initially chose from the database?

Thanks.
