Repopulating checkboxes in Codeigniter after Unsuccessful Form Validation

Question

I have a problem repopulating a set of checkboxes after an unsuccessful form validation returns the user back to the same form. Dropdown menus and text inputs could be repopulat

Answer 1

I realised that set_checkbox takes 3 parameters :

 set_checkbox(string $checkboxname, string $value, boolean $isChecked);

For example :

 echo form_checkbox('mycbx[]',
                    $item['id'],
                    set_checkbox('mycbx[]', $item['id'], false)
      );

or this way :

$checkbox = array(
    'name'        => 'mycbx[]',
    'value'       => $item['id'],
    'checked'     => set_checkbox('mycbx[]', $item['id'], false)
);
echo form_checkbox($checkbox);
