Create Array With Key And Value Pair In Codeigniter 4 - php

Question

I am trying to create and array to fill for my form_dropdown() for my view:
<?php echo form_dropdown('vendor', $vendors, '', 'class="form-control"') ?>
However, I am only getting the last value based on the function that generates the array:
public function get_vendors() {
$vendors = $this->db->table('vendor')->get()->getResultArray();
// Return key => value pair array
$array = array(
0 => 'Not Assigned'
);
if (!empty($vendors)) {
foreach ($vendors as $vendor) {
$array = array(
$vendor['id'] => $vendor['vendor']
);
}
}
return $array;
}
This function is within my model. The only problem I have is that it's returning only the last row from the table. However when I do a var_dump() for the $vendors I get all the rows. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
array (size=2)
0 =>
array (size=4)
'id' => string '1' (length=1)
'vendor' => string 'Blue Chip' (length=9)
'datecreated' => string '2022-08-16' (length=10)
'datemodified' => string '2022-08-16' (length=10)
1 =>
array (size=4)
'id' => string '2' (length=1)
'vendor' => string 'ASP' (length=3)
'datecreated' => string '2022-08-30' (length=10)
'datemodified' => string '2022-08-31' (length=10)

Changing the query to from getResultArray() to getResultObject() did the trick. So I was able to use $array[$vendor->id] = $vendor->vendor;
public function get_vendors() {
$vendors = $this->db->table('vendor')->get()->getResultObject();
// Return key => value pair array
$array = array(
0 => 'Not Assigned'
);
if (!empty($vendors)) {
foreach ($vendors as $vendor) {
$array[$vendor->id] = $vendor->vendor;
}
}
return $array;
}

If you still want to use getResultArray():
public function get_vendors() {
$vendors = $this->db->table('vendor')->get()->getResultArray();
// Return key => value pair array
$array = array(
0 => 'Not Assigned'
);
if (!empty($vendors)) {
foreach ($vendors as $vendor) {
$array[$vendor['id']] => $vendor['vendor'];
}
}
return $array;
}
