I'm using cakephp 1.2, and I have a search form which has also this menu:
Classificazione <select style="margin-top: 5px;" name="classificazione">
<option value="art0"></option>
<option value="C">Articoli</option>
<option value="D">Documentazione</option>
<option value="A">Libri</option>
<option value="G">Materiali</option>
<option value="B">Riviste</option>
<default value="A">
</select><br />
In the next page I want to set the default value of this menu with what the user has chosen before.
I SOLVED like this (for example, with the first option):
In the controller:
$getParams['classificazione'] = isset($params['classificazione']) ? $params['classificazione'] : '';
...
$this->set('getParams', $getParams);
In the view:
<option value="C" <?php if ($getParams['classificazione']=="C") echo "selected"; ?> >Articoli</option>
