Create your select options in a loop, and in each iteration check if the current value equals the one you get from the page get variable.
For brevity i have used the ternary operator in this example:
<?php $pageno = isset($_GET['page'])?$_GET['page']:''; ?>
<select name='Bday' id='Bday' >
<?php for($i=1;$i<=31;$i++):?>
<option value="<?php echo $i;?>" <?php echo $i==$pageno? 'selected':'';?> ><?php echo $i;?></option>
<?php endfor;?>
</select>
