Foreach all values from the field

[xxxlogiatxxx]

Hey guys. Need some little help for a newbie. How can i foreach all possible values from existing field of a child template into select form? Trying like this but it showing me results from created pages and their fields.

  $fields = $page->find("template=item, sort=item_type");

  echo "<select>";
  foreach($fields as $item) {
    echo "
      <option>{$item->item_type->title}</option>
    ";
  }
  echo "</select>";

Hi @xxxlogiatxxx,

There is no $page->find(). 

You may want to find all pages which use template "item". The syntax should be:

$fields = $pages->find("template=item, sort=item_type");

@Gideon So, there is indeed a $page->find() method:

This is the same as Pages::find() except that the results are limited to descendents of this Page.

@xxxlogiatxxx, I've read your question a couple of times but I can't work out what you are trying to do. You populate a variable you have called $fields. Firstly, you should choose a different name for this variable because $fields is the name of an API variable: https://processwire.com/api/ref/fields/

Secondly, you populate this variable from $page->find() and the result of this will be pages not fields. Can explain more about what your aim is?
