There are some good solutions above  and mine is just a combination of two  I came here looking for a solution     Sarvar Nishonboyev s solution is good because it maintains the creation of the form input label and help-block for error messages   I went with    lt  php use yii helpers ArrayHelper  use app models Product    gt   lt     form- gt field  model   parent id        - gt dropDownList              ArrayHelper  map Product  find  - gt asArray  - gt all     parent id    name                   gt    Again  full credit to   Sarvar Nishonboyev s and  ippi

This is about generating data  and so is more properly done from the model  Imagine if you ever wanted to change the way data is displayed in the drop-down box  say add a surname or something  You d have to find every drop-down box and change the arrayHelper  I use a function in my models to return the data for a dropdown  so I don t have to repeat code in views  It also has the advantage that I can specify filter here and have them apply to every dropdown created from this model      Model Standard php     public function getDropdown          return ArrayHelper  map self  find  - gt all     s id    name         You can use this in your view file like this   echo  form- gt field  model   attribute           - gt dropDownList               model- gt dropDown

Maybe I m wrong but I think that SQL query from view is a bad idea  This is my way  In controller    model   new SomeModel     items ArrayHelper  map TableName  find  - gt all    id   name      return  this- gt render  view    model   gt  model   items   gt  items     And in View    lt    Html  activeDropDownList  model   item id   items    gt    Or using ActiveForm    lt  php  form   ActiveForm  begin      gt    lt     form- gt field  model   item id  - gt dropDownList  items    gt   lt  php ActiveForm  end      gt

If you made it to the bottom of the list  Save some php code and just bring everything back from the DB as you need like this     items   Standard  find  - gt select   name   - gt indexBy  s id  - gt column

In ActiveForm just use    lt         form- gt field  model   state id            - gt dropDownList   prompt    gt   ---- Select State ----             - gt label  State     gt
