Anyway ...

Say you have a table, 'regions', with columns 'id' &
'name':

$this->set('regions',
$this->Region->find('list'));

Or, if this is an associated model:

$this->set('regions',
$this->Country->Region->find('list'));

View:

<?= $form->select('Country.region', $regions, null,
array(), true) ?>

Use different column name:

$this->Country->Region->displayField = 'name_en';
$this->set('regions',
$this->Country->Region->find('list'));
