form_dropdown() - 68thorby68 - 11-03-2021
Hi all,
Does anyone know is there is a way to place additional attributes to the option tag in a Select dropdown, using the form_dropdown() form helper?
I am trying to achieve a out put like this
Code:
<select class="floating-select" name="tam_day_label" id="tam_day_label" onclick="this.setAttribute(\'value\', this.value);" value=" " required/>
<option value="Monday" rel="1">Monday</option>
<option value="Tuesday" rel="2">Tuesday</option>
<option value="Wednesday" rel="3">Wednesday</option>
<option value="Thursday" rel="4">Thursday</option>
<option value="Friday" rel="5">Friday</option>
<option value="Saturday" rel="6">Saturday</option>
<option value="Sunday" rel="7">Sunday</option>
<option value="Week" rel="8">Week</option>
</select>my current form dropdown (select) is compiled like below:
Controller
PHP Code:
$dayArray=[
$value['monday']='Monday';
$value['tuesday']='Tuesday';
$value['wednesday']='Wednesday';
$value['thursday']='Thursday';
$value['friday']='Friday';
$value['saturday']='Saturday';
$value['sunday']='Sunday';
];
$data['dayType_tags'] = 'class="floating-select" id="tam_std_rate_type" onclick="this.setAttribute(\'value\', this.value);" value=" " required';
PHP Code:
<?= form_dropdown('tam_day_label', $dayArray, old('tam_day_label'), $dayType_tags); ?>Output
Code:
<select class="floating-select" name="tam_day_label" id="tam_day_label" onclick="this.setAttribute(\'value\', this.value);" value=" " required/>
<option value="Monday" rel="1">Monday</option>
<option value="Tuesday" rel="2">Tuesday</option>
<option value="Wednesday" rel="3">Wednesday</option>
<option value="Thursday" rel="4">Thursday</option>
<option value="Friday" rel="5">Friday</option>
<option value="Saturday" rel="6">Saturday</option>
<option value="Sunday" rel="7">Sunday</option>
<option value="Week" rel="8">Week</option>
</select>Many thanks.

The easiest way to know is looking at the code: https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/blob/develop/system/Helpers/form_helper.php#L267
The short answer: it's not possible.
Anyway, I'm not sure how it could be implemented since it takes a simple key/value array as input for the options.

Thank you includebeer.
I toyed with this for quite a while, obviously with no luck and thought I was missing something. I will have to take a different approach, but isn't that half the fun?
Again, many thanks
