$opt = "Office";
foreach($categories as $rowcat){                   
    if( $row->catname == $opt ) {
    echo '<option value="'.$row->catname.'" selected="selected">'.$rowcat->catname.'</option>';                
   }
   else {
    echo '<option value="'.$row->catname.'">'.$rowcat->catname.'</option>';
   }
}
