Fetching the value from database for static dropdown. Here is the answer.
<div class="element">
<label for="positions"><font color="black">Position</font></label>
<?php
$selected = ($this->input->post('position')) ? $this->input->post('position') : $r->position; ;
$position = array("1" => "1", "2" => "2", "3" => "3", "4" => "Select none");
echo form_dropdown('position', $position, $selected);
?>
</div>
