<option value='Single'>Single</option>
<option value='Married'>Married</option>

<option value='Domestic'>Domestic</option>
<option value='Cohabitation'>Cohabitation</option>

How about:

 

$status_array[] = "Single";
$status_array[] = "Married";
$status_array[] = "Widowed";
$status_array[] = "Domestic";
$status_array[] = "Cohabitation";
$status_array[] = "Divorced";

foreach($status_array as $k=>$v)
{
    if (strtolower($status) == strtolower($v))
    {
         $sel = "selected";
    }
    else { $sel = ""; }
    echo "<option value=\"". $v. "\" ". $sel. ">". $v. "</option>";
}

 

that *should* do it.
