Most of the time we need to select one option based on the option posted in the database already. So this code will be useful:

<?php  $occupation=array('Select','Business Person-Trader','Chartered Accountant','School-College-University Teacher','Self-Employed','Doctor',
'Engineer','Farmer','Bank Employee','Government Service','House Wife','Journalist','Labour','Lawyer','Artist-Media-Entertainment',
'Police','Private Service','Retired','Army-Navy-Airforce','Official','Unemployed','Others','Reporter');
        $year=array('1990','1991','1992','1993','1994','1995','1996','1997','1998',
'1999','2000','2001','2002','2003','2004','2005','2006',
'2007','2008','2009','2010','2011','2012','2013','2014','2015','2016','2017',
'2018','2019');
        $relation=array('Aunty/Uncle','PG Tenant','Close Relative','Family Friend','Others');
?>

followed by for fathers occupation:(where $row2[6] is fetched from the database)

<label for="focc">Father's Occupation</label>
<select name="focc" id="focc" value='<?php echo $row2[6];?>'>
<?php

for($i=0;$i<count($occupation);$i++)
{
if($occupation[$i]==$row2[6]) $sel="selected"; else $sel=" ";
echo "<option value='".$occupation[$i]."' ".$sel.">".$occupation[$i]."</option>";
}
?>
</select>
