Checked checkboxes from array

[KV_Trevor]

I have an array that I am calling from a database and trying to pass the values back into the checkbox to be marked as checked. This is the array

$goalsArray = Array ( [0] => "regular exercise" [1] => "reduce medications" [2] => "sport specific" [3] => "improve eating habits" [4] => "increase energy" [5] => "rehabilitation" [6] => "reduce stress levels" [7] => "increase strength" [8] => "look better" [9] => "shape/tone" [10] => "increase muscle" [11] => "feel better" [12] => "improve posture" [13] => "flexibility" [14] => "lose weight" [15] => "gain weight" [16] => "burn fat" [17] => "accountability" )

$form->addElement(new Element_Checkbox("Goals:", "goals", $goalsOptions,  array("value" => $goalsArray)));

But nothing gets check, I can think of with no results. Please help

Hello,

Try to put $goals instead of "value" in the last parameter of your checkbox element.

Please tell me if it works.

Kind regards,

Aziz

Question :

Which value of goalsArray must be checked by default ? I would rather have something like this :

$form->addElement(new Element_Checkbox("Goals:", "goals", $goalsOptions,  array("value" => $goalsArray[i]));

where "i" is the element order.

By default, nothing is checked. The "checked" values of the array are coming from the database. The values are saved in the database as CSV, but even if I try to pass them in like this:

$goals = "regular exercise", "reduce medications", "sport specific", "improve eating habits", "increase energy", "rehabilitation", "reduce stress levels", "increase strength", "look better", "shape/tone", "increase muscle", "feel better", "improve posture", "flexibility", "lose weight", "gain weight", "burn fat", "accountability";

$form->addElement(new Element_Checkbox("Goals:", "goals", $goalsOptions,  array("value" => array($goals)));

Nothing is returned checked.

I even tried what you had about, but this also didn't work.

Thanks for the quick response.

When you use a parameter array("value"-> "whatever"), That means that you want to specify a default value. 

If I do not misunderstand , there should be only 3 attributes to construct your checkbox, Goals, goals and the last one is a modified version of your goalsOption array where you put out array keys and you keep only array values. Php fonction for this , I think, array_values, Check on the php help.

So it turns out the problem was on my end, for some reason I was storing the CSV with quotes around each section so when I exploded the CSV it was putting all the values in the fist key of the array.

For anyone looking for the same solution this is the answer:

$optionsArray = array("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7");
$csv = "1, 2, 3, 4";
$selectedArray = explode(", ",$csv);            
$form->addElement(new Element_Checkbox("Field Label:", "field", $optionsArray, array("value" => $selectedArray)));

Thanks for your help and replies Aziz.

Maybe that's because intval("1") != "1" ? ;-)
