Question

I am trying to categorise checkboxes with category|productname values. I need to use the cakephp form helper so I am somewhat clueless as to how to do that. I tried to use an array as the input name, but I am getting a lot of errors:

 // Current code:
 $this->Form->input(array("catname","prodname"),array(....)

 // Expected for html:
 <input name="data[formname][catname][prodname]" ... ">

Any ideas on how to do this?

Answer 1

You can use:

$this->Form->input('formname.catname.prodname', ...);
