I am working in a yii2 project. I have a form with text field. One field in form is length. currently I use text field for that. What I need is a text field for value and followed by a dropdown box in that we can choose cm or inch or pixel like that. How to do that and How to get value in controller.

You may have to use an additional column in database if you want to save it. Is that ok?Gynteniuxas– Gynteniuxas2016-08-29 09:38:32 +00:00Commented Aug 29, 2016 at 9:38

You can do it by 2 ways:
First,
Take an input field and one dropDownList using html helper class or you can create simple dropDownList using html
<?= $form->field($model, 'length')->textInput(['maxlength' => 255]); ?>
<?= Html::dropDownList('length_type', null,[ 'cm' => 'cm', 'inch' => 'inch', 'pixel' => 'pixel'],['class' => 'form-control','id'=>'length_type']) ?>
if you want to use html helper class than import Html class as below
use yii\helpers\Html;
Now, use length type in controller
if(isset($_POST['length_type']) && $_POST['length_type'] !=null)
{
$len_type=$_POST['length_type'];
// use this variable according to yuor need
}
Second,
decalare varibale length_type in model class
in view,
<?= $form->field($model, 'length')->textInput(['maxlength' => 255]); ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'length_type')->dropDownList([ 'cm' => 'cm', 'inch' => 'inch', 'pixel' => 'pixel'], ['class' => 'priority_list']) ?>
In controller you can use model variable directry as
$len=$model->length;
$len=$model->length_type;
