Provides a form element for a drop-down menu or scrolling selection box.

Properties:

  • #options: An associative array of options for the select. Do not use placeholders that sanitize data in any labels, as doing so will lead to double-escaping. Each array value can be:

    • A single translated string representing an HTML option element, where the outer array key is the option value and the translated string array value is the option label. The option value will be visible in the HTML and can be modified by malicious users, so it should not contain sensitive information and should be treated as possibly malicious data in processing.
    • An array representing an HTML optgroup element. The outer array key should be a translated string, and is used as the label for the group. The inner array contains the options for the group (with the keys as option values, and translated string values as option labels). Nesting option groups is not supported.
    • An object with an 'option' property. In this case, the outer array key is ignored, and the contents of the 'option' property are interpreted as an array of options to be merged with any other regular options and option groups found in the outer array.
  • #sort_options: (optional) If set to TRUE (default is FALSE), sort the options by their labels, after rendering and translation is complete. Can be set within an option group to sort that group.
  • #sort_start: (optional) Option index to start sorting at, where 0 is the first option. Can be used within an option group. If an empty option is being added automatically (see #empty_option and #empty_value properties), this defaults to 1 to keep the empty option at the top of the list. Otherwise, it defaults to 0.
  • #empty_option: (optional) The label to show for the first default option. By default, the label is automatically set to "- Select -" for a required field and "- None -" for an optional field.
  • #empty_value: (optional) The value for the first default option, which is used to determine whether the user submitted a value or not.

    • If #required is TRUE, this defaults to '' (an empty string).
    • If #required is not TRUE and this value isn't set, then no extra option is added to the select control, leaving the control in a slightly illogical state, because there's no way for the user to select nothing, since all user agents automatically preselect the first available option. But people are used to this being the behavior of select controls. @todo Address the above issue in Drupal 8.
    • If #required is not TRUE and this value is set (most commonly to an empty string), then an extra option (see #empty_option above) representing a "non-selection" is added with this as its value.
  • #multiple: (optional) Indicates whether one or more options can be selected. Defaults to FALSE.
  • #default_value: Must be NULL or not set in case there is no value for the element yet, in which case a first default option is inserted by default. Whether this first option is a valid option depends on whether the field is #required or not.
  • #required: (optional) Whether the user needs to select an option (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Defaults to FALSE.
  • #size: The number of rows in the list that should be visible at one time.

Usage example:

$form['example_select'] = [
  '#type' => 'select',
  '#title' => $this
    ->t('Select element'),
  '#options' => [
    '1' => $this
      ->t('One'),
    '2' => [
      '2.1' => $this
        ->t('Two point one'),
      '2.2' => $this
        ->t('Two point two'),
    ],
    '3' => $this
      ->t('Three'),
  ],
];
