How does the dropdownlist work?

Question

My code is just to add text, I am using framework Yii 1, I would like to create a dropdownlist with female and male only options.

<div class="row">
		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'ALU_SEXO'); ?>
		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'ALU_SEXO',array('size'=>10,'maxlength'=>10)); ?>
		
	</div>

Answer 1

According to the framework’s own documentation you can generate the dropdownlist with the static method of the same name as Chtml

<?php echo CHtml::dropDownList('listname', $select, 
          array('M' => 'Male', 'F' => 'Female'));
