bug with options.php script for checkbox with '0' value

  • i believe that the options.php script is either not getting ‘0’ (from an admin options form) or not setting ‘0’ for unchecked checkboxes within the script.
    and thus calling update_options without the zero value for the checkbox.

    im using an array to store multiple values in one option. otherwise works great when all checkboxes are checked or ‘1’.

    Can you be more explicit here? Like is this happening with default options or something new you added via a plugin?

    im 99% certain this is a form problem with null checkboxes and not a WP problem.

    and solved it as such,

    <label><input name="isenabled" type="hidden" value="0" ><input name="isenabled" type="checkbox" value="1" <?php if (isset($options['isenabled'])) { checked('1', $options['isenabled']); } ?> /> On</label>

    (as noted, using an array $options for options)

    in other words, consider it solved

    I get that it’s a problem with null checkboxes, but what I don’t get is WHERE you’re seeing it ?? You said it’s not WP, but if it’s WP that’s putting this out, we need to address it.

    Is this something you made on your own?
