Example 8-7. {html_checkboxes}

<?php

$smarty
->assign('cust_ids', array(1000,1001,1002,1003));
$smarty->assign('cust_names', array(
                                
'Joe Schmoe',
                                
'Jack Smith',
                                
'Jane Johnson',
                                
'Charlie Brown')
                              );
$smarty->assign('customer_id'1001);

?>

where template is

{html_checkboxes name="id" values=$cust_ids output=$cust_names
   selected=$customer_id  separator="<br />"}

or where PHP code is:

<?php

$smarty
->assign('cust_checkboxes', array(
                                     
1000 => 'Joe Schmoe',
                                     
1001 => 'Jack Smith',
                                     
1002 => 'Jane Johnson',
                                     
1003 => 'Charlie Brown')
                                   );
$smarty->assign('customer_id'1001);

?>

and the template is

{html_checkboxes name="id" options=$cust_checkboxes selected=$customer_id separator="<br />"}

both examples will output:

<label><input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="1000" />Joe Schmoe</label><br />
<label><input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="1001" checked="checked" />Jack Smith</label>
<br />
<label><input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="1002" />Jane Johnson</label><br />
<label><input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="1003" />Charlie Brown</label><br />

Example 8-8. Database example (eg PEAR or ADODB):

<?php

$sql 
'select type_id, types from types order by type';
$smarty->assign('types',$db->getAssoc($sql));

$sql 'select * from contacts where contact_id=12';
$smarty->assign('contact',$db->getRow($sql));

?>
{html_checkboxes name="type" options=$types selected=$contact.type_id separator="<br />"}
