[quote author="hunter" date="1332332412"]Thanx ...........
But i got a simplest one .......

Code:

<? $country[0] = 'Select Country'; ksort($country);?>

<div id="country"><h5>Select Country</h5>
&lt;?php echo form_dropdown('name', $country); ?&gt; </div>

Cause in case of form_dropdown arrays start with 1 not with zero........[/quote]

You should be careful with ksort since it may screw up your sorting. That's why I tend to do stuff just like I posted above. Even though it's not made in the view but actually put inside MY_Model which creates an array that has the format needed for form_dropdown.

You can soon check my MY_Model code at GitHub if you wanna know more about how I implemented it.
