how do you create a select with both value and the label the same from an array in cakephp?

Question

I created an array in the controller from a table :

$tasktemplateResults = $this->Tasktemplate->find('list');

And in the view I have a form helper that creates a drop down list:

echo $this->Form->input('Tasktemplate.id', array('options' => array($tasktemplateResults),'label' => 'Task'));

The html output is as follows:

<div class="input select">
    <label for="TasktemplateId">Task</label>
    <select name="data[Tasktemplate][id]" id="TasktemplateId"> 
        <option value="1">Test task</option> 
        <option value="2">Second test task</option> 
    </select>
</div>

I would like to have this html output:

<div class="input select">
    <label for="TasktemplateId">Task</label>
    <select name="data[Tasktemplate][id]" id="TasktemplateId"> 
        <option value="Test task">Test task</option> 
        <option value="Second test task">Second test task</option> 
    </select>
</div>

How do I get the name and value pairs the same as the array as shown above?

Answer 1

You can add parameters to the find 'list' method to specify which fields to use for the key and the value.

Example:

    $usernameMap = $this->Article->User->
find('list', array('fields' => array('User.username', 'User.first_name')));

Answer 2

array in the controller

$tasktemplateResults = $this->Tasktemplate->find('list', array('fields' => array('Tasktemplate.name')));

and in view

echo $this->Form->select('task', $tasktemplateResults);
