Checkbox Arrays Not Working

[sgtcoder]

There is an issue when loading model data that contains a checkbox array in a form. I know I can do the in_array function, but that would be tedious for a couple hundred checkboxes. I looked at the source code and it seems like it only checks the value, rather than also handling multiple/array.

Here is an example code:

{{ html()->model($order)->form('POST')->open() }}

{{ html()->checkbox('sandwiches[]', null, 'ham') }}

{{ html()->checkbox('sandwiches[]', null, 'turkey') }}

{{ html()->form()->close() }}

You can use method "checked" like:

{{ html()->checkbox('sandwiches[]', null, 'turkey')->checked(isset($order) ? $order->hasSandwiches( 'turkey') : 0 ) }}

And than in model "Order" you can write function "hasSandwiches" like this:

public function hasSandwiches($sandwich_name)
{
    foreach ($this->sandwiches as $sandwich){
        if ($sandwich->name == $sandwich_name)
            return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Yes, I know I can use checked. But, Laravel Collectives had this built-in.
