What does $rows contain? What does $options contain?

You could also simplify this a little bit. I'd at least remove the 
foreach $options loop and use "in_array" - see php.net/in_array

while ($rows = pg_fetch_array($result)) {
  $selected = '';
  if (in_array($rows[1], $options)) {
    $selected = ' SELECTED';
  }
  sprintf('<option value="%s"%s>%s</option>', $rows[1], $selected, 
$rows[1]);
}
