Hi, everyone

I need do this:

Input::post('name', isset($entity) ? $entity->name : '')

but for this field checkboxes['.$item['role']->id.'][]

Where if value is not setting, then default value will are an empty array

Thanks

If you do it like this, you need to keep track of what checkboxes where defined.

Assuming this is about an ORM relation assignment, and the checkbox id's represent the id' of the child objects, you need to do something like this:

// get the parent with all it's children

$parent = Model_Parent::find($key, array('related' => 'children'));

// get the list of checked child id's

$checked = Input::post('checkboxes', array());

// remove all children currently assigned but not checked anymore

foreach ($parent->children as $id => $child)

{

if ( ! in_array($id, $checked))

{

unset($parent->children[$id]);

}

// add children checked now but not assigned yet

foreach ($checked as $id)

{

if ( ! array_key_exists($id, $parent->children))

{

$parent->children[] = Model_Child::find($id);

}

// update

$parent->save();
