I got a very simple question now.
I have a basic array of record types:
$recordType = array(‘type 1’, ‘type 2’…‘type n’);
I need to use it in a form as a DropDown:
$form->DropDownList($model,‘type’,$recordType);
this seam to work, except for 2 things:
-
I need value field to be an index to the array. YII seam to put array element
in both value and text
-
I have no idea how to control default selected entry.
I know I am supposed to use listData or something but I am not sure how to specify array index
as an element value in select tag.
Do I HAVE to convert this 5 element array to the model and store it in db in order to have it
in drop down? I hope not!
thank you.
