Re: setting the value of a checkbox

I'm actually struggling on this myself.

In my situation, I have a table and on each row there's a check box.
I want to be able to save the state of the check box of a particular
data row whenever the user clicks on it.

The CakePHP manual says that the data can be accessed via $this->data.
However, print_r($this->data) always result in NULL.
print_r($_REQUEST) (or $_POST) will yield in array("checkbox_name" =>
"checkbox_value") only if changing the checkbox from unchecked to
checked, but not the other way.

For simplicity, I had the checkbox_name = ID of the row, and
checkbox_value = the field to set as the flag.

What is the better solution?

Regards,
Iqbal
