<div>
I'm not experienced with Yii, but from what I am reading on listOptions, it outputs a string, which is the html li markup. I would try to make a custom function on the DoctorSpecialty model which removes the unwanted values temporarily then collect the listOptions, put the unwanted values back in and return the collected options.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another option I am seeing is to use Chtml.<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-42187794-1">&lt;?php echo $form-&gt;dropDownListRow($model, 'specialty_id', CHtml::listData(
        DoctorSpecialty::model()-&gt;-&gt;find($condition,$params), 
        'id_column', 'value_column'
     ));?&gt;</code></pre>
</div>

With the following code in place:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&lt;?php echo $form-&gt;dropDownListRow($mo<wbr />del, 'specialty_id', DoctorSpecialty::listOptio<wbr />ns()); ?&gt;<br />
<br />
How would I limit the possible choices to just two of four? &nbsp;I can't delete the other two from the table because they are used in the database in other places.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
