label not working with date select in cakephp 3

I'm using form helper to input date select as follows

echo $this->Form->date('date_from', [
    'empty' => [
        'year' => 'Choose Year',
        'month' => 'Choose Month',
        'day' => 'Choose Date'
    ],
    'label' => 'Date From'
]);

But this is only showing select field and not the label Date From

Solution

  • It looks like CakePHP3 form helper with date doesn't support label as parameter.

    But this will generate exactly the same label as you want:

    <?php
  echo $this->Form->label('Date From');
  echo $this->Form->date('date_from', [
 'empty' => [
    'year' => 'Choose Year',
    'month' => 'Choose Month',
    'day' => 'Choose Date'
 ],
]);
?>
