Why this is not working. I want to use it in view/admin/arrangement_edit.php

Code:
<tr>

<td>

Odhod:

<select name="departure_type">

&lt;?php echo $this->function_model->gkListArrayAsOptions($TransportTypesArray,  $row->departure_type); ?&gt;

</select> 

</td>

</tr>

this is model/function_model.php file

Code:
class Function_model extends Model {

    function Function_model()

    {

        parent::Model();

    }

    function gkListArrayAsOptions($array, $selected=null)

    {

        $output = "";

        foreach($array as $value=>$text) 

        {

            $selectAtt = "";

            if ($value == $selected) $selectAtt = "selected=\"selected\"";

            $output .= "<option value=\"$value\" $selectAtt>$text</option>";

        }

        return $output;

    }

}

First thing to check is does the function work within the controller that you loaded that view from?

Without seeing the controller I'd say you probably have not loaded the model (the model must be loaded and the object instantiated - which CodeIgniter does for you - prior to using it).

Code:
$this->load->model('function_model');

We can get into the debate of calling a model from a view and how this should be a helper later. Tongue
