How to map Zend_Db_Table_Row object to Zend_Form_Element_Select options (optial way)

Question

How would You populate Zend_Form_Element_Select with options direct from Zend_Db_Table_Row?

For instance:

    $select = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('user_id', array(
        'required'  => true
        ));

    // fetching users for select
    $userTable = new User_Model_DbTable_User();
    $users = $userTable->fetchAll();
    $select->addMultiOptions($users->toArray());

But this will not work to good. Let say I want to have object id as a option value and some object property as an select label.

I know I can run foreach thourgh the rowset and construct an array of options but maybe there is some kind of map function?

Any map function you create would be iterating the rowset so you might as well simply do that, eg

foreach ($users as $user) {
    $select->addMultiOption($user->id, $user->someObjectProperty);
}

you also may consider tailoring a model method to return exactly the array you want use. Perhaps something similar to:

public function fetchSelectList() {
        $resultSet = $this->fetchAll();
        $entries = array();
        foreach ($resultSet as $row) {
            $entry['id'] = $row->id;
            $entry['name'] = $row->name;

            $entries[] = $entry;
        }
        return $entries;
    }
