Hey guys,

I am looking for some help on prepopulating a select form helper and
setting a default selected value using Cake1.2. I have seen solutions
but they are all in Cake1.1 Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is what I have so far:

Controller code:
--------------------------------------------------------------
        function edit($id = null)
        {
                //ensure user has logged in
                $this->checkSession();

                $this->ProjectUpdate->id = $id;

                if (empty($this->data)) {
                        $this->data = $this->ProjectUpdate->read();

                        // **** Using this to populate the select form helper 
*******
                        $projectNames = 
$this->ProjectUpdate->Project->find('list', array
('fields' => 'Project.name', 'order' => 'Project.name ASC'));
                        $this->set('projectNames', $projectNames);
                }
                else {
                        if ($this->ProjectUpdate->save($this->data)) {
                                $this->Session->setFlash('Your project has been 
updated.');
                                $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index/1'));
                        }
                }
        }


View code
---------------------------------------------------

        echo $form->select('Project.id', $projectNames, null, null, false);



Thanks guys I appreciate the assistance!
