Because you are using the $result variable many times with subsequent queries, you will need to preserve $result["PACKAGE_CATEGORY"] as a new variable, like this:

$selected=$result["PACKAGE_CATEGORY"];

You can write inline condition statements like this:

echo "<option name=\"WEBE\" value=\"{$row["PACKAGE_NAME"]}\"",($row[ "PACKAGE_NAME"]==$selected?" selected":""),">{$row["PACKAGE_NAME"]}</option>";

This means if the condition is true then selected will be echoed, if false an empty string will be echoed.

The same technique on multiple lines would look like this:

echo "<option name=\"WEBE\" value=\"{$row["PACKAGE_NAME"]}\"";
    echo $row["PACKAGE_NAME"]==$selected?" selected":"";
echo ">{$row["PACKAGE_NAME"]}</option>";

If you don't want to use an inline condition here is the standard syntax:

echo "<option name=\"WEBE\" value=\"{$row["PACKAGE_NAME"]}\"";
    if($row["PACKAGE_NAME"]==$selected){
        echo " selected";
    }
echo ">{$row["PACKAGE_NAME"]}</option>";
