First, you need to define a key-value array like this:

$options = array();
<?php foreach ($ownProjects as $userProject) 
    array_push($options, array($userProject->id => $userProject->name));
?>

 echo CHtml::dropDownList('seletName', '1', $options);

This will be produced an html <select> tag with "seletcName" name. And also option with value "1" will be selected option. You can use your desired value for first and second parameters. Also you can use CActiveForm#dropDownList for this purpose.

@kirbrown Did you try my solution? – hamed Mar 15 '15 at 12:42
Solution is great, thanks, but I don't know much about Yii framework, so I can't paste my code above right in this solution. – k1r8r0wn Mar 15 '15 at 13:56

In your form, use the form dropDownList() function.

<?php echo $form->dropDownList(
               $model,
               'project_id',
               CHtml::listData(OwnProjects::model()->findAll(),
                   'id', 'name'),
               array('empty' => '(Select project)','class'=>"form-control")
          );
?>

From your example, it looks like OwnProjects is not a model on its own, but a subset of a model. You can customise the query

<?php echo $form->dropDownList(
               $model,
               'project_id',
               CHtml::listData(OwnProjects::model()->findAllByAttributes(array('user_id'=> Yii:app()->user->id),
                   'id', 'name'),
               array('empty' => '(Select project)','class'=>"form-control")
          );
?>

This solution finally helps me:

<?php  $options = array();
  foreach ($projects as $userProject) :
    $options[$userProject->id] = $userProject->project->name;
  endforeach;

  echo CHtml::dropDownList('selectName', '1', $options); 
?>
