For example's sake, lets say that you have User and then UserType, user
types consists of the following records:
Admin, Editor, Contributor, User
You want to have a drop down list with all the user types, so when creating
a new user you can select which type it should be (in this example), you
would do something like this.
*Controller (basic):*
$this->set('userTypes', $this->User->UserType->find('list'));
*View (form):*
echo $this->Form->input('User.user_type_id', array('options' =>
$userTypes));
If you name your field and variable correctly, CakePHP should automatically
pick up that $userTypes holds the options for the 'User.user_type_id' field.
Here is more on it:
