Answer 1

I had the same problem but i have overcome on this problem using code igniter syntex. Here is the solution. Fisrt step Before the loop initialize two arrays

$options = array();
$select = array();

Then in the loop write this instruction

foreach($result->result_array() as $row)
{
    /////////Your Condition ////////////
    if($row['id'] == $myarray['mycolumn'])
    {            
        $options [$row['id']] = $row['salaryrange'];
        $select = $row['id'] ; 
    }else{
        $options [$row['id']] = $row['salaryrange'];
    }
}

Now

echo form_dropdown('dropdown_name' , $options , $select);

It is working ok
