Creating a form dropdown from db

[eluser]Bionicjoe[/eluser]
What you two have said makes sense, but I am still not getting any data fed to my dropdown.

I am loading my view for the page elsewhere.

This is the view for the Add page.

Code:

function addticket()
    {
        $this->template->set('title', 'Add ticket');
        $this->template->set('heading', 'Add Ticket');
            
        $this->template->load('template', 'addticket_view');
    }

New controller function. Should this be within the 'addticket()' function above?

Code:

function sitedropdown()
    {
        $this->load->model('outage_model');
        $data['somedata'] = $this->outage_model->sitedropdown();
                
        $this->load->view('addticket_view', $data);
    }
