Question

I have enum function in some of the rows and was wondering how we could fetch this in Cake to view it as select box?

Below is the function example:

enum('Uusi hakija','Jatkohakemus','40+','60+','Työyhteisöhanke','Mieshanke','Urheiluseurahanke')

Answer 1

$enumList = enum('Your', 'stuff', 'goes', 'here');
$vars = explode('.', $enumList);

$this->Form->select('Model.field_name', $vars);

Very simple but should work. Your option names would be 0, 1, 2, etc.

Check out CakePHP’s FormHelper and the select input.
