How to select option value from database on selected?
However the problem is I want to store the product name as a drop down list box that has already been selected by the user and then select that. So, basically what I wish to do is instead of displaying the DB retrieved options in a text box I wish the option the user has selected to be displayed in a dropdown list box. I hope this makes sence?

Is it possible to edit a dataset after it has been published?
However, once a dataset it published, it is not possible to edit or delete it.

How to fetch data from database in PHP?
A bit of suggestion: I would recommend you to start using prepared statements – in order to avoid sql injection – and to not mix php code for fetching data from db with html code. Just separate them. First, fetch data on top of the page and save it into an array. Then, inside the html code, use only the array to iterate through fetched data.
