Select or Dropdown list from CActiveRecord in Yii

I have table types and i want to build selectbox with all values from this table In my controller i wrote this code

$allRegistrationTypes = RegistrationType::model()->findAll();
$this->render('index', array('allRegistrationTypes' => $allRegistrationTypes))

How build selectbox in view file ?

Solution

  • Well then its pretty simple all you need to do is first create List Data like

    CHtml::ListData(allRegistrationTypes,'value you want to pass when item is selected','value you have to display');

    for ex 

    typeList = CHtml::ListData(allRegistrationTypes,'id','type');

    now remember both id and type are fields in table

    now all you have to do is if you are using form then 

    <?php echo $form->dropDownList($model, 'type_id', $typeList, array('empty'=>'Select a tyoe')); ?>

    and if you need multiple you can pass multiple => multiple in the array as htmlOptions
