Hi,

I want to create HTML option list

do you mean within a volt view, you want to create a variable that contain a full html option list ?

with Phalcon\Tag they are many helpers for building forms:

{{ select("type", productTypes, 'using': ['id', 'name']) }}

Or better 

//in controller
$productTypes = array(
            "N" => "Brand New",
            "G" => "Good conditions",
            "U" => "Used",
            "D" => "Unuseable"
        );
$this->view->setVar("producTypes", $productTypes);

// in view
{{ selectSatatic("status", productTypes }}
