I’m somewhat new to PHP and Yii so bear with me!
I have a multi part form, all textFields except this bit
#...
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'boatclass'); ?>
<?php echo $form->checkBoxList($model,'boatclass', $model->boatClassList()); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'boatclass'); ?>
</div>
#...
The checkBoxList values are populated from a function in my model,
public function boatClassList()
{
return array(
'c1'=>'C1 Racing',
'c1stock'=>'C1 Stock',
'c2am'=>'C2 Proboat',
'c2stock'=>'C2 Stock',
'k1'=>'K1',
'k2'=>'K2',
'c4'=>'C4'
);
}
The data from this checkBoxList is supposed to be saved to a single field in a mysql database. Now, my own understanding of the problem is that I need to somehow implode the options the user selected in the checkBoxList into a string before it’s saved into the database. I have not been able to successfully implement this though. A single checkBox works fine, it’s just the checkBoxList that’s tripping me up.
My current “fix” for it is a hacky bit of code where I use a bunch of separate single checkBox fields and combine the data from those into a string before saving it into the DB, but I’d like to find out if there’s as better/more correct way.
Thanks for your help.
