Question

Racking my brains I have been through the zend documentation and crawled google but cant find the solution. I have a form using Zend_Form and on initial page load I need the contact me checkbox checked by default.

I have the below code which is suppose to work I am told but doesnt for me. Any one had any experience with this?

        $contactme = new Zend_Form_Element_Checkbox('contactme','checked');
    $contactme->setLabel("Please untick box if you don't want to be updated with offers.")
             ->setAttrib('checked','checked')
             ->setCheckedValue(1)
             ->setUncheckedValue(0)
             ->setValue(1); 

Cheers

John

Answer 1

$form->addElement('checkbox', 'paid', array('value' => true/false));

Is the way i do it. You can set in the array all other attributes too.
