Dropdown

[Xtremer360]

I'm trying to have it shows the data from my array as each option will have a value of the user's id and the text for the option will be their name. As of right now it only shows the last person.

 

 

<?php echo form_label('Recipient', 'recipient'); ?>

<?php 
$data = array(
  'name'   => 'to',
  'class'  => 'required'
);
<?php echo form_label('Recipient', 'recipient'); ?>
                                    <?php 
                                    $data = array(
                                    'name'   => 'to',
                                    'class'  => 'required'
                                    );
                                    $options = array();
foreach($users AS $user)
{
    $options = array (
    $user->user_id => $user->first_name.' '.$user->last_name
    );     
}   
?>

<?php echo form_dropdown($data, $options); ?>

because you keep replacing the options array rather than adding to it.

 

i'm not sure what form_dropdown() consists of, but try changing:

 

$options = array (

 

to

 

$options[] = array (

Didn't change anything unfortunately.

actually, just looked up form_dropdown (codeignitor)

 

try this:

 

foreach($users AS $user)
{
    $options[$user->user_id]  = $user->first_name.' '.$user->last_name;
}

Only problem with that is that the value of the option should be the user_id and the text of the option should be the users name.

<?php
echo form_label('User Select', 'user');

$options = array('0' => '- Select a User -',);
	foreach($users as $user):
		$options = $options + array($user->user_id => $user->user_name);
	endforeach;

	echo form_dropdown('user', $options); ?>
?>
