Re: filling an array for a selectbox (v1.2)

Have you tried Set::combine($issuerArray, '.issuerID',
'.issuerName' );

I know that, but the data does not come from my database,
but from an
API that delivers it in a specific format.
I just need to know what I have to do with the $issuerArray
to turn it
over to another array that I can return to the controller
that is
calling this component and from there use it to fill my
selectbox in
the view.

The $issuerArray looks like this:

Array
(
    [0] => IssuerBean Object
        (
            [issuerID] => 0151
            [issuerName] => Issuer Simulator
            [issuerList] => Short
        )
)

The best thing I've come to is this:

--- in my component function doDirectoryrequest(): ---

for($i = 0; $i < count($issuerArray); $i++)
{
	$keys[$i] = $issuerArray[$i]->issuerID;
	$values[$i] = $issuerArray[$i]->issuerName;
}

$issuers = array_combine($keys, $values);

return $issuers;

--- in my controller: ---

$this->set('result',
$this->Ideal->doDirectoryrequest());

--- in my view: ---

<?php echo $form->select('issuer', array('options'
=> $result,
array(), array(), false)); ?>

---

This is resulting in this html code:
<select name="data[issuer]"
id="issuer">
<option value=""></option>
<optgroup label="options">
<option value="0151">Issuer
Simulator</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="1">
</optgroup>
<option value="2"></option>
</select>

But somehow there's a lot of stuff in there I don't want to
have.
I just need this :
<select name="data[issuer]"
id="issuer">
<option value="0151">Issuer
Simulator</option>
</select>
