How to pre select radioButtonListRow and checkboxListRow with Yii 2

This entry was posted in PHP Yii on July 18, 2013 by nick

Looking at the code in Yii for radioButtonListRow and checkboxListRow it’s not apparent how to preselect these form elements with previously selected data.

<?php echo $form->checkboxListRow($model, 'id', CHtml::listData(models\web_data\Program::model()->findAll(array('order' => 'name')), 'id', 'name')); ?>

<?php echo $form->checkboxListRow($model, 'id', CHtml::listData(models\web_data\Program::model()->findAll(array('order' => 'name')), 'id', 'name')); ?>

The solution is to set the model’s property to your selected values in the controller. You can use a scalar value or an array of values. For the above line of code, we can use the below –

$model->id = array(2,3);

$model->id = array(2,3);

or

$model->id = 2;

$model->id = 2;
