Question

I wanted to pass a variable from a controller to the form. How can this be implemented? Can anyone please help me on this issue.

Thank you.

In the controller method of your application. addMultiOptions($options);

class OrderController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{   
    $options = array(
        'foo' => 'Foo2 Option',
        'bar' => 'Bar2 Option',
        'baz' => 'Baz2 Option',
        'bat' => 'Bat2 Option' 
    );

    $form  = new Application_Form_PlaceNewOrder();
    $form->items->addMultiOptions($options);

    ....
}

In the form script of your application.

class Application_Form_PlaceNewOrder extends Zend_Form
{
    public function init()
    { 
        $items= new Zend_Form_Element_Select('items');
        $items->setLabel('Items: *');       
        $items->setValue('foo');
        ....
}
