Re: showEmpty?
I believe it's 'empty => 'Select your State'. If the param is false, null, or the empty string, Cake outputs an empty option.

Re: showEmpty?
Use array_unshift( $states, $selected) to insert an element at the beginning of the $states array.

RE: showEmpty?
I had a same / similar question for input selects which is related to this. I have my echo $form->input('State'); which is populated by a find list...so I have all my States. How can I add so first option to be "Select your State" with no value? Right now Alabama shows up first and if a user does not select a State Alabama is automatically saved. $selected = array('option' => 'Select your State', 'value' => '0')?

You should only be using input(). echo $form->input('State', array('options' => array('NJ' => New Jersey', 'NY' => 'New York'), 'empty' => false)); On Oct 3, 7:33 pm, Gonzalo Servat wrote: > On Sun, Oct 4, 2009 at 7:21 AM, > gimperdan...@gmail.com wrote: > > [..snip..] > > > This is what I have: > > > echo $form->select('State', array('NJ' => New Jersey', 'NY' => 'New > > York')); > > > I want to remove the empty option of this select box.

The function's arguments are: select($fieldName, $options = array(), $selected = null, $attributes = array(), $showEmpty = '') You only supplied the first and second arguments so if you want to keep the defaults for the rest except for $showEmpty, you'd need to do something like the following: echo $form->select('State', array('NJ' => 'New Jersey', 'NY' => 'New York'), null, array(), false) (notice I kept the defaults "null" and "array()" for the arguments between $options and $showEmpty) - Gonzalo --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
