title: Cakephp 2.61 and comboboxes
body: <p>Using Cakephp 2.6.1, I have successfully captured and stored single characters in my database using the following code</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('grade', array('options' =&gt; array( 'G' =&gt; 'Good', 'P' =&gt; 'Pass','R'=&gt;'Practice Required','F'=&gt;'Fail')));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I would like to know is how to convert these values back to the display values when retrieving them from the database, ie if the database contains 'P', I want to display 'Pass' in the view and index pages.</p>
  
  <p>I'm certain the answer is simple and straightforward, and sheepishly apologise in advance for my ignorance.</p>
