Re: Select Null option on helper on CakePHP3

You may also do something like 'empty' => 'Select Company' and pass a string if you want to customise that particular option.

Hi Stephen,
Thank you very much. It is working for me now. The amendment I made on view file is as follows

 echo $this->Form->input('company_id',['options' => $company_list,'empty' =>true]);

Regards,
Jipson

As per the CakePHP 3 API you can still pass empty to $this->Form->select (similar to 2.x)

This isn't mentioned in the CakePHP 3 FormHelper book though it seems.

Hi,
Would you please let me know how I can add a Null option to Cake php3 form helper.

In my drop down I am listing all the company names from database, but I don't know how I can add a null option to this. Because of this, I am compelled to select any company and it is not letting me to choose no company.

The Code I use is as following.

Controller
======
$this->set('company_list',$company_list);

View
=========
 echo $this->Form->select('company_id',['Company' => $company_list]);

Thanks,
Jipson
