title: Dropdown list for newer version of cakephp
body: <p>I am a newbie in cakephp. I need to get values from the DB and populate it in the view. From all the forums I have visited, I came to know that <code>generateList()</code> has been deprecated. If so, what do I need to use. where should I place the code. Could any of you explain to me the code part. </p>
