Generating Form::select() options from database result
Kohana 3.1 and 3.0
$options = ORM::factory('model')
->order_by('title','ASC')
->find_all()
->as_array('id','title');
$select = Form::select('name', $options);
It should be noted this is not restricted to the ORM and can be used on all database results (they all support as_array). See the database results information for more details.
If you want to add a default option:
$options = Arr::merge(array('Please select a value.'), $options);
