New to php Array question, probably VERY simple... - El Forum - 06-25-2009

[eluser]PoetaWD[/eluser]
Sorry for this very infant question.. I am just learning PHP.

I am using the form helper to create a <select> input...

The data is passed to the view file as a object...

But i am having trouble building the array to generate the <select> input !

Here is what I got:

Code:
foreach ($clientes as $cliente)
                                {
                                    $opcoesC[] = array($cliente->id => $cliente->id.' - '.$cliente->stNome);
                                }
echo form_dropdown('cliente', $opcoesC);

But that will generate a array like this:

$opcoesC[0] = 'aaaaaaaaa' => 'aaaaaaaaaaa'
$opcoesC[1] = 'bbbbbbbbb' => 'bbbbbbbbbbb'
...

or like this:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [7] => 7 - jkkk ) [1] => Array ( [8] => 8 - jk ) [2] => Array ( [9] => 9 - kkh ) [3] => Array ( [10] => 10 - klçklçklç ) )

I needed to be generated like this:

$opcoesC = array( 'aaaaaaa' => 'aaaaaaa','bbbbbbb' => 'bbbbbbbb','cccccccc'=>'ccccccc' ....);

I have also tryed this:

Code:
$opcoes = array(
                        '' => 'Selecione o funcionário',
               foreach ($funcionarios as $funcionario)
                                {
           $funcionario->id => $funcionario->id.' - '.$funcionario->stNome,
                     }
                            );

Can anyone give me a hint ?

Thanks in advance...

The reason you're getting:
Code:
$opcoesC[0] = ‘aaaaaaaaa’ => ‘aaaaaaaaaaa’
is this part here:
Code:
$opcoesC[] = array($cli...
when you use the empty brackets like that it automatically increments an integer based index. If you want to use an associative array then you have to specify the index like so:
Code:
$opcoesC[$cliente->id] = $cliente->id.' - '.$cliente->stNome;

Here's what kgill said implemented to your example.

Code:
foreach ($clientes as $cliente)
                                {
                                    $opcoesC[$cliente->id] = $cliente->id.' - '.$cliente->stNome;
                                }
echo form_dropdown('cliente', $opcoesC);
