DropDownList of all countries

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi all. I want to create a dropDownList of countries in Yii, but I find too difficult to create a raw list of all this in my code.

Can anybody help me find an easy way to fix this ?

Try like this -


// retrieve the models from db

$models = countries::model()->findAll(

                 array('order' => 'country_name'));

				 

// format models as $key=>$value with listData

$list = CHtml::listData($models, 

                'country_id', 'country_name');

				

//Make Drop-down list				

echo CHtml::dropDownList('countries', $countries, 

              $list,

              array('empty' => '-- Select Country --'));
