if(isset($_GET["id"])){
        $sql=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM aMovie WHERE aName= '{$_GET['id']}'"); 
        $row=mysql_fetch_object($sql);  
}
<input type = "text" name = "name" value = "<?php echo $row->aC; ?>"/> 
<select name = "name" >
        <option value = "" <?php echo ($row->aC== "Deadpool") ? 'selected = "selected"': '';?>">Deadpool</option>
        <option value = "" <?php echo ($row->aC == "BATMAN VS SUPERMAN") ? 'selected = "selected"': '';?>">BATMAN VS SUPERMAN</option>
</select>
Assume that aMovie is my table name, and in my table there are aName and and aC. However, I would want to display aName which matches aC ["Deadpool" or "Batman Vs Superman"] and display it in the drop down button. It only works for the input type but not the drop down button.
This may help you. ? php $sql = "select * from mine where username = '$user' "; $res = mysql_query($sql); while($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) { $category = $list['category']; $username = $list['username']; $options = $list['options']; ?> <input type="text" name="category" value="<?
Your <select> should be like:
<select name = "name" >
<option value="Deadpool" <?=($rows->aC == "Deadpool" ? 'selected="selected"': '')?>>Deadpool</option>
<option value="BATMAN VS SUPERMAN" <?=($rows->aC == "BATMAN VS SUPERMAN" ? 'selected="selected"': '')?>>BATMAN VS SUPERMAN</option>
</select>
selected="selected" will use outside the value attribute.
UPDATE:
As @Maninderpreet-Singh mentioned, you also need to change $row to $rows.
try to change
<option <?php echo($row->aC== "Deadpool") ? 'selected = "selected"': '';?>  value="<?php echo $row->aC;?>">Deadpool</option>
                        try with this and you are using different variable in input
<input type = "text" name = "name" value = "<?php echo $rows->aC; ?>"/> 
$row and $rows are different 
  <option value = "<?php echo $row->aC; ?>" <?php echo ($row->aC == "Deadpool") ? 'selected':'';?>">Deadpool</option>
  <option value = "<?php echo $row->aC; ?>" <?php echo ($row->aC == "BATMAN VS SUPERMAN") ? 'selected': '';?>">BATMAN VS SUPERMAN</option>
