PHP - Manage Checkboxes in loop

Question

So, I have a variable which have all the menu_ids. So what I want to show is - Check with the current variable i.e $get_all_menu_values and if the value is there, then mark it tick(checked). Else leave it blank.

   <?php    
    $get_all_menu_values = "1,2,3,4,5"; ?>
    <ul>
    <?php foreach ($getSubMenuValues as $sub_menu): ?>
    <li class='has-sub'><a href='<?=$sub_menu['menu_url']; ?>'><span><?=$sub_menu['menu_name']; ?></span></a></li>
    <div align="center"><input type="checkbox" class="form" value="" name="get_menu_values[]" /></div>
    <?php endforeach; ?>   
    </ul>

In other words - check with the $get_all_menu_values and if the m_id is the same make it checked. More or less checking with IN array I guess. But don't know how to do that. Any help.

Thanks, Kimz

Is $get_all_menu_values an array or string?

Yes, in_array is what you need,

<?php
 $get_all_menu_values_array = explode(",",$get_all_menu_values); 
 foreach ($getSubMenuValues as $sub_menu):
   $isChecked = '';
   if(in_array($sub_menu['m_id'],$get_all_menu_values_array) {
      $isChecked = "checked='checked'";
   } 
?>
<li class='has-sub'><a href='<?=$sub_menu['menu_url']; ?>'><span><?=$sub_menu['menu_name']; ?></span></a></li>
<div align="center"><input type="checkbox" class="form" value="" name="get_menu_values[]" <?=$isChecked; ?> /></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Use in_array to check values

    $get_all_menu_values = "1,2,3,4,5";
    <ul>
    <?php foreach ($getSubMenuValues as $sub_menu){ ?>
    <li class='has-sub'><a href='<?=$sub_menu['menu_url']; ?>'><span><?=$sub_menu['menu_name']; ?></span></a></li>
    <div align="center"><input type="checkbox" class="form" value="" <?php (in_array($sub_menu["m_id"], $get_all_menu_values) ? "checked='checked'" : ""; ?> name="get_menu_values[]" /></div>
    <?php } ?>   
    </ul>
