Disabled checkbox in cakephp

[cakestar]

Hello all,

 

I would like to display a disabled checkbox with its value set from the database. I have tried the following:

 

<?php echo $form->checkbox($post['Post']['flag'], array('disabled'=>'true'));?>
<?php echo $form->checkbox(‘Post.flag.$post['Post']['flag'], array(‘value’ => $post['Post']['flag']));?>

 

The first statement shows me a disabled checkbox and if I view the source I have a hidden checkbox as well but none are being passed the value of the field from the database.

 

<input type="hidden" id="" disabled="disabled"  value="0" name="data[]">
<input type="checkbox" id="" value="1" disabled="disabled" name="data[]">

 

The second statement shows this:

 

<input type="checkbox" id="‘Postflag0" value="1" ‘value’="0" name="data[‘Postflag0]">

 

Now I've changed it slightly to:

 

<?php echo $form->checkbox(Post.flag.$post['Post']['flag'], array(value => $post['Post']['flag']));?>

 

These don't work either:

 

<input type="hidden" name="data[Postflag0]" id="Postflag0_" value="0" />
<input type="checkbox" name="data[Postflag0]" value="1" id="Postflag0" />

 

I want to be able to show a disabled checkbox with a value of checked or not depending on it's value in the database.

 

Any idea how I can get this to work?

If the checkbox is to be pre-checked, you need to insert checked="checked" in the tag.

Your dead right I would need that in the code somewhere, but more importantly I would need to pass a value to it whether or not it needed to be checked or not. thks for your reply tho
