Hi, I'm trying to work out how to change the value attribute which is returned when a checkbox is "checked". I look through an array of checkbox values and names, $problems = array('123' => 'angina', '456' => 'heartattack', '789' => 'ischaemic', '321' => 'stroke'); etc... foreach($problems as $key => $value){ $this->addElement('checkbox', $key, $value, null); } $value is the label and $key is the number I would like to return if the checkbox is ticked. The generated HTML is: <input name="123" type="checkbox" value="1" id="qf_be76e4" /><label for="qf_be76e4"></label> However the values being stored in the quickform controller container are: [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(1) "1" [2]=> string(1) "1" The above array key is going up numerically, so how does it know which checkbox should be checked? Should the array key not be linked to the input s "name" attribute? Ie ["123"] => string(1) "1" ? Also note that I set the checkboxes label to null, yet in the HTML I still get the <label></label> tags; is there a way to prevent this additional mess in the HTML code? I checked through the QF checkbox.php code, and also had a peek at the advanced checkbox, but couldn't see an immediate solution to either of my problems. Any ideas?
