CakePHP label option on input select form not working as expected -

my select form working perfectly, label not display no matter variation or arrangement of arguments.

here code:

<?php echo $this->form->input('plan_detail_id', $plans_list, array(     'type' => 'select',     'label' => 'select plan detail',     'empty' => '-- select plan detail --' )); ?> 

as can see have second argument $plan_list place label tag. example, of other labels such ok:

<td><?php echo $this->form->input('age_id', array(     'label' => 'select age range',     'empty' => '-- select age range --' )); ?></td> 

note: there no second $argument first example. doing totally wrong? or not possible or bug?

the api doesn't show 3 parameters formhelper::input method; there $fieldname , $options. meant use formhelper::select method instead.

$this->form->select('plan_detail_id', $plans_list, null, array('label' => 'select plan detail', 'empty' => '-- select plan detail --')); 

note formhelper::select not include wrapping <div> or label. must pass in this..

echo $this->form->input(     'plan_detail_id',     array(         'options' => $plans_list,         'type' => 'select',         'empty' => '-- select plan detail --',         'label' => 'select plan detail'     ) ); 

this differs original attempt in moves $plans_list array options argument set.
