How can I add data attributes in the <option> tags using the form_dropdown() helper ? To generate something like this, for example:
// the part that I'm interested is the **data-code** attribute
<select class="form-control" name="country">
<option value="a" data-code="code1">itemOne</option>
<option value="b" data-code="code2">itemTwo</option>
<option value="c" data-code="code3">itemThree</option>
</select>
Actually I don't know it is possible or not. But I would do this way:
<?php if(sizeof($countries) > 0): ?>
<select class="form-control" name="country">
<?php foreach($countries as $country): ?>
<option value="<?php echo $country['value'] ?>" data-code="<?php echo $country['code'] ?>"><?php echo $country['display'] ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
<?php endif; ?>
Where as, array of $countries should be as below:
$countries = array(
array('value'=>'a','code'=>'code1','display'=>'itemOne'),
array('value'=>'b','code'=>'code2','display'=>'itemTwo'),
array('value'=>'c','code'=>'code3','display'=>'itemThree')
);
$array = array();
foreach($appertisers as $row ){
$array[] = $row->product;
$price[] = $row->price;
}
$array = array_merge(array('' => 'Please Select'), $array);
echo form_dropdown('appetisers', $array);
Dome something like that.
