I wrote a view that generates a form. One of the fields is defined in
the database as "tinyint(1)" (aka "bool"). FormHelper->input()
correctly renders a checkbox for this field, but does not set it to
checked, even when the value is 1.
<?= $this->Form->input($field, array(
'value' => $equip[$field]
['value'],
));
//pr($equip[$field]);
?>
Here is the output of the above "pr()" call when it's un-commented:
Array
(
[value] => 1
)
I tried to trace through the code, and think that the problem is in
Helper->value(), which always returns null in this case.
Do I have to treat "bool" checkboxes as a special case?
Even this won't initialize the checkbox as checked:
$this->Form->checkbox('Equipment.collect', array(
'checked' => true, //
$equip['collect'],
))
