I am pretty sure that there is a better way to populate the array, needed for the dropdown:

<?php 

$items2 = [Yii::$app->user->identity->id => Yii::$app->user->identity->username ]; ?>
<!--...some html -->

<?= $form->field($model, 'idUser')->dropDownList($items2,['Item' => ''])?>

already try:

$item2 = ArrayHelper::map(Yii::$app->user->identity::find()->all(), 'id', 'name');

reason, I want to display 'name' but submit 'value'='id'.

Should be this 

<?= $form->field($model, 'idUser')->
        dropDownList(ArrayHelper::map(Yii::$app->user->identity->find()->all(),
      'id', 'username'), ['prompt'=>'Select...'])?>

  • $items2 = ArrayHelper::map(Yii::$app->user->identity, 'id', 'name'); die($items2); returns "Array", not the values that i need. $items2 = [ '0' => 'crlshn' ] – crlshn Mar 27 '16 at 21:06
