There's a neater way of doing this than the method ShiVik posted. That forced you to manually enter the title to checkbox inside of a tag. If you don't want that, there's a method to re-arrange the order of elements.

In your example, you simply want to change the order of the $format option, like so:

<?php echo $this->Form->input('checkbox', array(
                                  'type'=>'checkbox', 
                                  'format' => array('before', 'input', 'between', 'label', 'after', 'error' ) 
  ) ); ?>

Edit, just noticed your post was running cake 1.2. This code is for cake 1.3

You can do this by setting the label to false and using the option "before" to display the label where you want.

<?php echo $form->input('checkbox', 
    array(
      'label'=>false, 
      'type'=>'checkbox',
      'before' => '<label>checkbox</lablel>', 
      'div' => false
 )); ?>

If not this, then you can use the Form element specific methods, instead of the automagic form elements.

And that's exactly why I prefer the Form element specific methods, instead of wrestling with the options array. ;) Valid answer nonetheless.

it dont wrestling with options array if checkbox can reverse easily. With inputDefault , you can config fast

It's often easier to do things manually if the generic FormHelper::input wrapper doesn't fit your bill:

echo $form->label('fieldname');
echo $form->checkbox('fieldname');

I often don't use FormHelper::input beyond scaffolding.

@meotim And why does that prevent you from writing it this way?
