Question

I have code like this in my blade file

    <label class="col-md-6"><b> Interview </b></label>
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <select class="custom-select form-control col-md-12" name="interview" id="interview" value="{{$candidateDetail->first_round['mode']}}" required>
            <option value=""> --- Select Interciew Round --- </option>
            <option value="technical">Technical Round</option>
            <option value="personal">Personal Round</option>
            <option value="hr">HR Interview</option>
            <option value="practical">Practical Round</option>

Answer 1

Try this

use Laravel collective for best practice

Your blade file

{{ Form::select('interview', $yourArray, $dbSaveValue, ['class'=> 'class name'])}}
//or
{{ Form::select('interview', $yourArray, $dbSaveValue ?? null, ['class'=> 'class name'])}}

$yourArray is your options

$dbSaveValue is your saved value it will automatically select option (No need to use for or foreach loop)

Answer 2

Suppose $check contains the actual data you inserted last time.. Change it with your variable.. Change code in your view

 <select class="custom-select form-control col-md-12" name="interview" id="interview" value="{{$candidateDetail->first_round['mode']}}" required>
        <option value=""> --- Select Interciew Round --- </option>
        <option value="technical" {{ $check=='technical' ? 'selected' : ''}}>Technical Round</option>
        <option value="personal" { $check=='personal' ? 'selected' : ''}}>Personal Round</option>
        <option value="hr" {{ $check=='hr' ? 'selected' : ''}}>HR Interview</option>
        <option value="practical" {{ $check=='practical' ? 'selected' : ''}}>Practical Round</option>
 </select>
