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.

       $piecesJob = explode(",",  $this->data['Job']['describeJob']);

                                                    '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 :)

After I updated the database, I added 1 table; relate it to another table, and go to the command line to bake what I did, after typing "cake bake model" at the command prompt, I found out that the recently added table was not listed.

Cake PHP Bake Model Problem

 

Reason.
Cake caches your model schema. 

Solution.
1.) 
Clear your cache by deleting all files in your app's tmp/cache/models/
and tmp/cache/persistent/

2.) 
Disable caching in your app's config/core.php // make sure to enable back again in production setup

/**
 * Turn off all caching application-wide.  *  
 */  
Configure::write('Cache.disable', true);

After doing the solution, I can now successfully bake the new table.
