Question: How to implement/create a simple select dropdown

Hi there. Very new to SilverStripe. Have been thrown in the deep end and don’t really know what I am doing. I am trying to create a dropdown select on a form.

public function Form(){

        $fields = new FieldList(
            $Store = new SelectField('Store', 'Store', array("1" => "hello", "2" => "Hello2")),
        );

        $actions = new FieldList(
            new FormAction('submit', 'Enquire Now')
        );

        $requiredFields = new RequiredFields(
            'Store'
        );

        return new Form($this, 'Form', $fields, $actions, $requiredFields);
    }

The above code is throwing an error which breaks the site.

I am trying to use the documentation here
https://api.silverstripe.org/4/SilverStripe/Forms/SelectField.html
But it’s pretty confusing, and I look at it and nothing really tells me anything… and there’s no other examples or anything online!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can you post the error message?

Turns out there’s a ‘DropDown’ Field… Not sure what ‘SelectField’ would do…

–>> Don’t know how to turn on better errors… I just get a server error.

Cheers
