Form validation - set_checkbox() issue - El Forum - 12-12-2011

Hi,

I made a form using CI form helper and form validation library. Everything works fine, except that the set_value() for a checkbox field (actually: set_checkbox()) does not work.

My code:

Code:
echo '<div>';

 echo form_fieldset('Membership Status'); 

  $label_opt = array('class' => 'labelCheckbox');

  $chkbox_opt = array('name' =>'student', 'value' => 'yes', 'class' => 'inputCheckbox');                     

  echo form_label(form_checkbox($chkbox_opt, '', set_checkbox('student', 'yes')) . 'I am a student', 'lbl_status', $label_opt);

 echo form_fieldset_close();

echo '</div>';

In my browser, I see:

Code:
<div>

<fieldset>

<legend>Membership Status</legend>

<label for="lbl_status" class="labelCheckbox">

&lt;input type="checkbox" name="student" value="yes" class="inputCheckbox"&gt;

I am a student

</label>

</fieldset>

</div>

But the set_checkbox() function doesn't seem to work...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
