Re: Is it possible to implement a "no answer" null value on a boolean field?

You shouldn't be using booleans as keys, just use strings.

$options = array('1' => 'yes', '0' => 'no');
echo $this->Form->input('music', array('options' => $options, 'empty' => 'no answer'));

work:
$options = array(true => 'yes', false => 'no', null => 'no answer');
echo $this->Form->input('music', array('options' => $options, 'empty'
=> null));

Answering 'no' saves ok to the database, but it shows '(no answer)'
when editing the record.  And giving 'no answer' does not save a null
to the database.  What's the correct way to do this?

Thanks.
