the best way to do this is using generateList in your controller - see
the model functions in the manual. I have one which looks like this:
view:
<?php echo $html->selectTag('Review/cruiseline', $cruise_lines, null,
array(), null, true, false);?>
controller:
$this->set('cruise_lines', str_replace( '&','&',$this->CruiseLine-
>generateList(null,'cruise_line_name ASC',null,
'{n}.CruiseLine.id','{n}.CruiseLine.cruise_line_name')));
generateList puts your data int key/value pairs.
