Hello -
I am selecting data from a database to populate a select box. I am using
the fetchPairs database option, so my first element is the value and the
second element is the display value.
I also want a default option that has a null value at the top of my select
box.
So here is my code:
$db_readPeopleAndGroups = Zend_Db::factory($config->db_readPeopleAndGroups);
$db_readPeopleAndGroups->getConnection();
$queryResults = $db_readPeopleAndGroups->fetchPairs("SELECT id, last_name
FROM person ORDER BY last_name");
$results = $queryResults;
// array_unshift adds elements to the beginning of an array
array_unshift($results, array(''=>'Choose Faculty'));
// Faculty Plan View Select Box
$tpFacultyView = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('tpFacultyView');
$tpFacultyView->setLabel($config->tpFacultyView)
->setMultiOptions($results)
However, when I display my form, Zend_Form puts <optgroup> tags around the
"Choose Faculty" element that I added to the beginning of my array.
Here is a subset of what my source looks like:
<select name="tpFacultyView" id="tpFacultyView">
<optgroup label="0">
<option value="" label="Choose Faculty">Choose Faculty</option>
</optgroup>
<option value="1" label="Doe, John">Doe, John</option>
<option value="2" label="Johnson, Julie">Johnson, Julie</option>
<option value="3" label="Smith, Joe">Smith, Joe</option>
</select>
Is there any way to get rid of these <optgroup> tags? For some reason, when
clicking on my select box, I see the '0' above the "Choose Faculty" option
(which is also indented from the other options).
If there's a better way to add the "Choose Faculty" option so that I don't
get the <optgroup> tags, that would be great too.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks bunches.
Tina Matter
