#6040: FormHelper select not honoring $showEmpty without a string
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: cuppett | Type: Bug
Status: new | Priority: Medium
Milestone: 1.2.x.x | Component: Helpers
Version: 1.2 Final | Severity: Normal
Keywords: | Php_version: PHP 5
Cake_version: |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
PHP 5.2.8, CakePHP 1.2.1
Gauging from this signature in FormHelper:
function select($fieldName, $options = array(), $selected = null,
$attributes = array(), $showEmpty = '')
It appears $showEmpty will default to ON using a blank value (and has been
my experience pre 1.2). I'm calling it the following way:
echo $form->select("Execution.category_id", $categories, NULL,
array("onchange" => $onChange));
And the drop down doesn't have an empty element:
<select name="data[Execution][category_id]"
onchange="someJavascript();"
id="ExecutionCategoryId">
<option value="210">
Lev0
</option>
<option value="1">
New Features
</option>
<option value="132">
Severity - High
</option>
<option value="134">
Severity - Low
</option>
<option value="133">
Severity - Medium
</option>
<option value="142">
Treatments
</option>
</select>
If I add the 5th parameter explicitly set to "true", it's still not there.
However, when I put a string in such as "None", then it begins to show up.
The $emptyMulti check in FormHelper->select() seemed suspicious. However,
note that it doesn't matter whether I pass an attribute of "multiple" =>
true, the empty element does not appear.
For some reason, true & "" are not behaving as intended and giving an
empty option in the dropdown select.
