title: cakephp get all dropdown options from DB
body: <p>I have a drop-down and drop-down options in separate tables. That's good but now I want to be able to retrieve all the options with the drop-down code. On this page I have all of the drop-downs and items. Let's say the drop-down code is <code>dropdown1</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to be able to do </p>
  
  <pre><code>$this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('dropdownitem_id', array('options' =&gt; $dropdown['dropdown1']));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this without a helper?</p>
