[Closed] set_checkbox dosn't work with Form Helper

[eluser]adamp1[/eluser]
Is it just me or do nearly all the following not work with the form helper functions.

set_checkbox
set_select
set_radio

None of these can easily be used with the form_dropdown, form_checkbox or form_radio functions since they return a string. The only way to get them to work is by using the 4th parameter and passing in additional data. Since seems a bit odd to me. Why have to parts of the framework which don't work together unless you use a not very pretty work around.

For example, setting a checkbox value.

This won't work since set_checkbox returns a string rather than a TRUE false VALUE.

Code:

print form_checkbox('my_checkbox','1', set_checkbox('my_checkbox', '1', TRUE));
