CakePHP Radio Buttons

Question

I am using CakePHP to create a simple blog for myself. I want to have a rating system attached to each post.

I have loaded the ratings which look like this:

Controller

$this->set('ratings', $this->Ratings->find('all'));

I want to generate radio buttons on the view with the ratings. The ratings have the fields value and label. I could use a foreach and loop around the ratings but I am wondering if the radio button helper in the form class can take a model object and generate the radio buttons?

I hope you understand what I mean.

Answer 1

You can pass an options attribute to the form helper.

<?=$this->Form->input('rating', array('type' => 'radio', 'options' => range(1, 10)))?>
