Back again.. It doesn't work afterall. It just displays an empty "drop down list".

How do I get the drop down list with my contents using the more simple version of the form building?

or do I have to go about the more complicated way as seen in other files?

like this way:

sniplet from breedingview.php

		$settingsForm->buildComment("Breeding System Enabled:   ", FALSE)->buildRadioList("system", $breedingSystem, $breedingSettings->system)
					 ->buildComment("Breeding Method(heuristic or advanced):   ", FALSE)->buildRadioList("method", $breedingMethod, $breedingSettings->method)
					 ->buildComment("Ineligible Species(separate by comma):   ", FALSE)->buildTextField("species", ($breedingSettings->species)?implode(",", $breedingSettings->species):"")
		             ->buildComment("Interval/wait-time(days) between successive attempts:	 ", FALSE)->buildTextField("interval", $breedingSettings->interval)
					 ->buildComment("Minimum Level Requirement:	 ", FALSE)->buildTextField("level", $breedingSettings->level)
