In select drop down, make one particular value selected from values that are coming in drop down list Cakephp3.0. i am using below code:
$abc = 'india';
echo $this->Form->input('location_id',
['empty' =>'Please select', 'required'=>'required', 'class' => 'form-control', 'label'=>false]);
Name of countries are coming in drop down list, but i want to make specific value selected which is set as variable $abc (i.e india).
Try this code :
use the 'default' key in
$abc = array('1' => 'One','2'=> 'Two');
echo $this->Form->input('location_id',
'options' => $abc,
default' =>$abc[1],
['empty' =>'Please select',
'required'=>'required',
'class' => 'form-control',
'label'=>false]
);
where $abc[0] is the key of the item you want as selected
like this :
$options = array('M' => 'Male', 'F' => 'Female');
echo $this->Form->select('field', $options, array('default' => 'F'));
Use value option of form input helper. Like this :
$selected = 'india';
echo $this->Form->input('location_id', ['empty' =>'Please select', 'required'=>'required', 'class' => 'form-control', 'label'=>false, 'value'=> $selected]);
Suggestion - Read the docs once and then start the development. You will never get stuck at such simple problems. And refer docs first whenever you get stuck at anything.
echo $form->input('field_name', array(
'type' => 'select',
'options' => $arrayOfOptions, // typically set from $this->find('list') in controller
'label'=> 'Label name here',
'value' => $arrProjectLeaderDetails['id'], // specify default value
'escape' => false, // prevent HTML being automatically escaped
'error' => false,
'class' => 'input_select_medium'
));
In cakephp4 :
echo $this->Form->select(
'field_name', [1,2,3,4,5,6],
['empty', => '(Click to select Something']
);
