How to put space in between option value of Zend_Form_Element_Select Expected result as follows,

Tried as follows,

$this->addElement('Select', 'parent_id', array(
      'label' => 'Select Category',
      'multiOptions' => array('0'=>'Gents','1'=>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jeans','2'=>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sunglass','3'=>'Ladies','4'=>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jeans','5'=>'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sunglass')
));

Why not just use optgroups? ZF handles this natively by using a nested array for the multi-options, eg

$options = array(
    'Gents' => array(
        1 => 'Jeans',
        2 => 'Sunglass'
    ),
    'Ladies' => array(
        3 => 'Jeans',
        4 => 'Sunglass'
    )
);

@Kyathi do you actually need to? Unless you write your own view helper, I think you're out of luck

~~Try this:~~

$this->addElement('Select', 'parent_id', array( 'label' => 'Select Category', 'multiOptions' => array('0'=>'Gents','1'=>'   Jeans','2'=>'   Sunglass','3'=>'Ladies','4'=>'   Jeans','5'=>'   Sunglass'), 'escape' => false // <-- added ));

I seems this will not work indeed, as reported in this, still unresolved, issue:
