Setting the "Value" of "Options" in a drop down...

Hello!

Here is what I have in my view:

if($biddetail['Biddetail']['Sold'] == 'SOLD'){$otherstate = 'OPEN';} else {$otherstate = 'SOLD';}
echo $this->Form->input('Sold', array('options' => array($otherstate),'empty' => $biddetail['Biddetail']['Sold']));

Is there no way to set the value to equal to the option?  ie  value = 'SOLD' rather than value = '0'.  As you can see above the values change based on the current value populated in the data base...

I don't want to have to go back and add a table to hold two values that will never change.  Any solutions?  I have already read the documentation at:
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/form.html  which does not provide a solution for this question.


Thanks!!
