Cake using Multiple Select Checkboxes

December 2nd, 2009

A sample on how to use multiple select checkbox within cakephp views and controller.

 

After reviewing the http://api.cakephp.org/file/cake/libs/view/helpers/form.php#method-FormHelperselect


1.) Inserting to database

 <?php 
//add.ctp for example
?>
     <em>How would you describe your job (mark as many as applies):   </em>
           <?php       echo $form->input('describeJob', array('label' => false,
                                                    'div' => false,
                                                    'type' => 'select',
                                                    'multiple'=>'checkbox',
                                                    'legend' => 'false',
                                                    'options' => array('Physical' => 'Physical','Mental' => 'Mental', 'Stressful' => 'Stressful',  'Easy-going' => 'Easy-going', 'Secure' => 'Secure', 'Non-secure' => 'Non-secure', 'Exhausting' => 'Exhausting', 'Relaxing' => 'Relaxing' )
                                                      )); ?>

-On your controller. Use implode php function and add a seperator that you like, for this example I use ","

 <?php 
 //job_controller @add() function
        if (!empty($this->data)) {
        $this->data['Job']['describeJob'] = implode(",",$this->data['Job']['describeJob']);
                $this->Job->create();
?>


2.) Editing part, Retrieving values of the datafield to mark check on those were choosen before. 
-View Decleration Example. In this example I used explode function of php directly in the view, notice the "selected" option added in to the $form->input helper, this will get the values, supposed to be check in that field.

<?
//edit.ctp for example
       $piecesJob = explode(",",  $this->data['Job']['describeJob']);
             echo $form->input('describeJob', array('label' => false,
                                                    'div' => false,
                                                    'type' => 'select',
                                                    'multiple'=>'checkbox',
                                                    'legend' => 'false',
                                                    'options' => array('Physical' => 'Physical','Mental' => 'Mental', 'Stressful' => 'Stressful',  'Easy-going' => 'Easy-going', 'Secure' => 'Secure', 'Non-secure' => 'Non-secure', 'Exhausting' => 'Exhausting', 'Relaxing' => 'Relaxing' ),
                                                    'selected' => $piecesJob   )); ?>

That's it :)
