This is my piece of code and i need to get more than one attribute(piece of information) back from the banner position function to view in the select or multioption box please help

class Admin_Form_Banner extends ZendX_Form_Designed {

public function init() {

$this->setEnctype(self::ENCTYPE_MULTIPART);
$this->setMethod(self::METHOD_POST);
$this->setMethod(‘post’);

    // Add an email element
    $this->addElement('text', 'banner_title', array(
        'label' => 'Banner Title',
        'required' => true,
        'filters' => array('StringTrim')
    ));

public function getBannerPositions() {
    $db = Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter();

    $bannerPosition = $db->fetchPairs($db
                            ->select()
                            ->from('banner_position'), array('id', 'banner_position'));
    return $bannerPosition;
}

}

Answer 1

i solve the problem by using the zend_Db_expr and the concatenation by this way i can bring the banner position and the width and the height in one multi option select box.

$bannerPosition = $db->fetchPairs($db
->select()
->from(‘banner_position’, array(
‘id’ => ‘id’,
‘display_name’ => new Zend_Db_Expr(“CONCAT(‘ ‘, banner_position, ‘ (w:’, width, ‘ x h:’, height, ‘)’)”)
)
)
