[Closed] Displaying checkboxes output

Hi, I would like to display the output of my checkboxes in a list, or at least separated by commas.

Searching around, the only way that I found to display the checkboxes output using PHP would be to array each option individually like so:

echo types_render_field("my-checkboxes", array("option"=>0));
echo types_render_field("my-checkboxes", array("option"=>1));
echo types_render_field("my-checkboxes", array("option"=>2));

and this will display the value of those that I have checked, but there is no clean way to separate them with this method. There must be a better way to do it.

Dear Maresca,

You can use a normal wordpress function to do this:

$checkboxes = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'wpcf-my-checkboxes');
 var_dump($checkboxes);

Please let me know if there is anything else that I can assist you with.

Well, I'm having trouble displaying the actual results on the site. Forgive me, I'm a bit of a novice. This is what I tried:

$checkboxes = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'wpcf-my-checkboxes');

if(empty($checkboxes))
  {
    echo("None.");
  }
  else
  {
    $N = count($checkboxes);
    for($i=0; $i < $N; $i++)
    {
      echo($checkboxes[$i] . ", ");
    }
  }

And the output on the site was: Array,

Obviously, I want the actual names of each of the checked checkboxes to display, rather than the word array. How can I accomplish this?

OK I got it sorted out:

global $wp_query;
global $post_id;
$post_id = $wp_query->post->ID;
$checkboxes = get_post_meta($post_id,'wpcf-my-checkboxes',true);

foreach ($checkboxes as $checkbox) {
    echo $checkbox.", ";
}

Thanks for your assistance!

Dear Matt,

If you want to get rid of the last comma, try with this code:

echo implode(', ', $checkboxes);

Please let me know if there is anything else that I can assist you with.
