Try the following:

<form method=post action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>">

<SELECT name="cat" size="1">
<?php
$option[0] = " ";
$option[1] = "Wines";
$option[2] = "Olive Oil";
$option[3] = "Archeological";
$option[4] = "Music";
$option[5] = "All";

while (list ($key, $value) = each ($option))
{
if (isset($cat) && $cat == "$value")
{
echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$value\" SELECTED>$value</OPTION> ";
}
else
{
echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$value\">$value</OPTION> ";
}
}
?>
</SELECT><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT"><BR>
<?php
echo "<BR>You selected: <b>$cat</b>!";
?>
