List all sidebar names?

by

I’m listing all sidebars like that:

global $wp_registered_sidebars;

echo '<pre>';
print_r($wp_registered_sidebars); 
echo '</pre>'

So I’m getting something like:

Array
(
    [sidebar-1] => Array
        (
            [name] => Sidebar #1
            [id] => sidebar-1
            List all sidebar names? => Sidebar number 1
            [before_widget] => 
            [after_widget] => 
            [before_title] => 
            [after_title] =>
        )

 (...)

)

But I’d love to display them as a select list, like:

<select>
  <option value ="SIDEBAR-ID">SIDEBAR-NAME/option>
  <option value ="SIDEBAR-ID">SIDEBAR-NAME/option>
(...)
</select>

WordPress Codex isn’t helpful at all.

Thank you!

Loop through the global:

<select>
<?php foreach ( $GLOBALS['wp_registered_sidebars'] as $sidebar ) { ?>
     <option value="<?php echo ucwords( $sidebar['id'] ); ?>">
              <?php echo ucwords( $sidebar['name'] ); ?>
     </option>
<?php } ?>
</select>

Note:
The ucwords() function is only there to display it exactly as you asked. Not sure if you really want that.
