What have you created on your own? Show us your code? And your data should be in PHP format –  Marcin Nabiałek May 13 at 6:43

$array_list=array(array("value"=>0,"text"=>"--Select--"),array("value"=>268,"text"=>"Cash received"));

$selected=268;
$text="";
foreach($array_list as $entry){
    if($entry['value']==$selected){
        $text=$entry['text'];
        break;
    }
}

echo "Selected Option: ".$text;

Text will now contain the selected option, if I understood your question correct.

I want to set only "Cash Received" on page load. so how to set?? –  Shamika May 13 at 8:47
    
...I think that is what is now in the variable $text. Your explanation is a bit weak. –  D. Schalla May 13 at 8:49
    
How to set particular default value from array in php? –  Shamika May 13 at 8:52
    
You can replace the '$text="";' with your default value, it can be written as string or also if it is the first child of the array_list: $text=array_list[0]['text']; –  D. Schalla May 13 at 8:58
