hi,
i created an edit_form.php with an select form.
$mform->addElement('select', 'config_cid', get_string('allusercourses', 'block_cm_summary'), $allusercourses, $attributes);
$mform->setDefault('config_cid', 'default value');
$mform->setType('config_cid', PARAM_TEXT);
How can i get the value of the array?
I tried
print_r($this->config->cid);
but this only prints the index of the array item and not the value.
Hi,
Where (in what place of your code) do you want to get those values? In other words, where did you put your code
print_r($this->config->cid);
When creating a 'select' form element, the options param ($allusercourses in this case) should be an array of $value => $display.
When you retrieve the saved data, it will be whatever you put in '$value' in the original options.
e.g. if the array was:
3 => Course 1,
6 => Course 2,
8 => Course 3,
And the user selected 'Course 3', then 8 would be returned by the form, to save into the DB.
