Always check the documentation... If you would like to generate a select with optgroups, just pass data in hierarchical format. This works on multiple checkboxes and radio buttons too, but instead of optgroups wraps elements in fieldsets: <?php $options = array( 'Group 1' => array( 'Value 1' => 'Label 1', 'Value 2' => 'Label 2' ), 'Group 2' => array( 'Value 3' => 'Label 3' ) ); echo $this->Form->select('field', $options); -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
