Generating multiple checkbox from database - humbucker - 07-25-2022
Hello
Is it possible to use the form helper
Code:
form_checkboxThis would be used to generate a search filter sidebar, based on values stored in database.
If it's only possible to generate one checkbox tag at a time, what's the best approach to code this ?
I need to be able to retrieve the user selected values to tick or untick these checkboxes.
Thank you

Use foreach. Set form method as GET. For edited fields use data in _GET or $settings['key'] default
PHP Code:
foreach ($settings as $k => $v) {
echo form_checkbox(...); // Here set array options with value, is checked...
}
Get values form in controller
PHP Code:
$request->getGet('settings_key', $settings['settings_key']);
