Hi, In cakephp I cant set the selected option on a dropdown list when i post. Wjat happens is that I select an option and Post. Then the controller will find the data and go back to the same page but the selected value in the selected list is the the default.
So I should select a date from the list, press button and be redirected to the same page with the selected date. That date should be selected in the select list. The code works but the selected option doesnt stay the same when the page is redirected back to the same page from the controller. //controller if (isset($this->request->data['button1'])) { $startdate=$this->request->data['Lesson']['ChooseAPaycycleStartDate']; $enddate=date('Y-m-d',strtotime ( +13 . ' day' , strtotime ( $startdate))); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'lesson_plan',$startdate,$enddate)); } /////view echo $this->Form->create(); echo $this->Form->input('ChooseAPaycycleStartDate', array('options' => array('2014-10-06'=>'06-10-2014' , '2014-10-20'=>'20-10-2014', '2014-11-3'=>'3-11-2014', '2014-01-01'=>'01-01-2014'))); // , 'type' => 'select', 'selected' => 2))); echo $this->Form->submit('Get Lesson Plans',array('name'=>'button1')); echo $this->Form->end(); -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
