Question

Symfony 1.4 in default generates list elements from MySQL enum like:

<option value="free">free</option>  
<option value="machine">machine</option>

What should I do to change option tag value?, ex:

<option value="free">Different value than free</option>

Answer 1

You can use some code like this:

$choices = $this->getWidget('mywidget')->getChoices();
// supposing we know what needs to change...
$choices[1] = "new value";
// supposing we don't need other options/attributes
$this->setWidget('mywidget', new sfWidgetFormChoice(array('choices' => $choices)));
