Ok, just help me in this part
As I mention i my first post, I have table called location with field
"locname" as only field and also the primary key for that table (there
is no locationid, locname).
so If I retrieve data from that table (to array) I will have array of locations.
e.g. $data = array('location1', 'location2', ... and so on);
in my form, if I have to hand code to fill the select, I will be doing
something like this:
$location= New Zend_Form_Element_Select('location');
$location->setLabel('*Location:');
$location->setMultiOptions(array('location1' => 'location1',
'location2' => 'location2' .... and so on));
My question is how do I do the same thing with the previous method (
controller passes the retrieved data to form and form will iterate to
populate data in select element).
I guess it is clear now.
