I’m trying to use generateList function in CakePHP 1.2 but I got a line of error message that said generateList function was deprecated.
Here is the error message detail

<span><span>Warning (512): (Model::generateList) Deprecated, </span><span class="keyword">use</span><span> Model::find(</span><span class="string">"list"</span><span>) </span><span class="keyword">or</span><span> Model::find(</span><span class="string">"all"</span><span>) </span><span class="keyword">and</span><span> Set::combine() [CORE\cake\libs\model\model.php, line 2191]  

So I take a look to cake-php mailing list and found a solution that work fine for my need at the time, here is the example code:

In the controller I put line like the following:

// /app/controllers/customers_controller.php
$customers =$this->Customer->find("all",array('fields'=>array('Customer.customer_name','Customer.id'),'order'=>'Customer.customer_name ASC'));
$cust_combine = Set::combine($customers, '{n}.Customer.id','{n}.Customer.customer_name');
$this->set('customers', $cust_combine);

I want to explain a litte here that you may change fields to suit with your environment,
in above code I put Customer.customer_name and Customer.id because I just need that two field in my form
then in line Set::combine($customers, ‘{n}.Customer.id’,’{n}.Customer.customer_name’);
I want to make Customer.id as the key and Customer.customer_name as the value.

Here is the code I put in view

// /app/views/customers/index.php
print 'Customer:'. $form->select('Customer/id', $customers, $html->Value('Customer/id'), array('class'=>'select large'), array(), true);
