Checkbox in Form Helper Cake PHP

Question

Here is the form helper I have used for checkbox

<?php
echo $this->Form->input('name',array('type'=>'checkbox','options'=>$options));
?>

and $options array is as follows:

 [options] => Array
                        (
                            [58] => 58
                            [85] => 85
                        )

But I am getting only one check box with both values in it. How can I get check box for each values.

@Marijke We can do it without foreach() also.. I have marked correct answer which worked — Ganesh Babu

Use the multiple attribute.

   echo $this->Form->input('Name',array(
        'label' => __('Label',true),
        'type' => 'select',
        'multiple' => 'checkbox',
        'options' => $options,
    ));

Another thing you have to check, and this is truly a general rule in cakephp when things do not run as expected. is:

"Are you properly closing the form? Do your inputs stay inside <form>...</form>? If you are not sure how to check simply use your preferred DevTool and check the rendered HTML page.

This is almost the thing I forgot to check mostly and which always let me waste a lot of time!

If your are creating the $option variable in the view this will help you :

$options = array("key" => "value" , "key" => "value" , "key" => "value");

But if you are setting it the controller this will help you :

$this->set('options', array("key" => "value" , "key" => "value" , "key" => "value"));

key is the value in each option of the select input
value is the text of the option tags
