Re: Joining two arrays to use in a Select box with the formhelper

Yes, you could use array_push() indeed, although you don't even need
to. The PHP manual recommends this method if you want to add just one
entry:

$isps['none'] = "None of the above";

This way 'none' will show up as last in the dropdown, as long as you
put the line after ->find().
