Making a dropdown menu from a database

[eluser]reghan[/eluser]
Hello I am interested in making a dropdown menu which pulls info from the database.
Basically I have three possible anwers yes, no, none. I want to pull the answer that is stored in the database and have that value selected in the dropdown. I am new to code igniter and I am not sure how to do this.

Any feedback would be great!

Thanks!
