3 step process.

<?php

echo $form->labelEx($model,‘Movie’);

$list = CHtml::listData(Movies::model()->findAll(),‘id’,‘title’);

echo $form->dropDownList($model,‘movie_id’,$list,array(‘class’=>‘span5’,‘prompt’=>‘Select movie.’));

?>

  1. create form label

  2. create list data. id and title both are DB table columns.

  3. use list data in drop down list, use prompt param in array for default text. Result something like this:

<select class="span5" name="dropdown name" id="drop down id">

<option value="">Select movie.</option>

<option value="12">dddddddddddddddddddd</option>

<option value="13">Gujjar</option>

</select>
