Dynamic form_dropdown() ?

[eluser]Armchair Samurai[/eluser]
In brief, I'd approach it this:

Code:

/**
| Model
*/
$this->db->select('name, id');
$query = $this->db->get('services');
return $query->result();

/**
| Controller
*/
$result = $this->Your_model->your_function();
$arr[] = '';
foreach ($result as $val)
    $arr[$val->id] = $val->name;

$this->load->view('foo', array($arr));

<!--View-->
<?=form_dropdown('service', $arr);?>
