multiple select box or checkboxes in the registration form

Yeah...so there are a few ways to do that with foreach loops and stuff like that, but I would manually update the entire row of checkboxes at every update of the user info. I think it's simpler.

I would do something like (assuming you have your db showing 1 for checked and 0 for unchecked)

Code:

$over_18 = Input::get('over_18');

Code:

if ($over_18 === 1) {

Code:

$over_18 = "1";

Code:

} else {

Code:

$over_18 = "0";

Code:

}

Or something like this. This way, you are checking the value of over_18 every time they are updating.

I'm guessing the other part you want to know how to do is to pre-check the boxes... that would be...

Code:

<input type='checkbox' name='over_18' id='over_18' value='1' <?php if ($user->data()->over_18 == '1')

Code:

echo "checked='checked'"; ?>> Are you over 18?

Note that the last 2 lines are all technically one line
