multicheckboxes zend form multi populate

I want to populate the form with multicheckboxes and the multicheckboxes are grouped together, so if I have a multi check box checked, I will view them all. The normal populate is not working. It just gets me one of the checkboxes. This is my code.

public function addEditAction() {


    $id = (int) $this->_request->getParam('id');

    $request = $this->getRequest();

    $form = new Admin_Form_Tab();

    $db = Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter();

    if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
        if ($form->isValid($request->getPost())) {
            if (isset($id) && $id != "") {
                $gettag = $form->getValue('tag_id');
                $gettags = count($gettag);
                try {
                    //shift the orders to
                    $select = $db->select()->from(array('t' => 'tab'), array('t.id',
                                't.title',
                                't.tab_position',
                                't.order',
                                't.is_active',
                                't.is_deleted'))->where('id = ?', $id);
                    $currentTab = $db->fetchRow($select);
                    $var3 = array('tab.order' => new Zend_Db_Expr('tab.order - 1'));
                    $var4 = array('tab.order >= ' . $currentTab['order'], 'is_active=1', 'is_deleted=0', 'tab_position=1');
                    $db->update('tab', $var3, $var4);
                    $var = array('tab.order' => new Zend_Db_Expr('tab.order + 1'));
                    $var2 = array('tab.order >= ' . $form->getValue('order'), 'is_active=1', 'is_deleted=0', 'tab_position=1');
                    $db->update('tab', $var, $var2);
                    $db->delete('tab_tag', array('tab_id = ?' => $id));
                    foreach ($gettag as $value) {

                        $db->insert('tab_tag',
                                array(
                                    'tag_id' => $value,
                                    'tab_id' => $id
                        ));

$values = $this->getEntityManager()      
               ->getRepository('Application\Entity\Tab')          
               ->findBy(array(              
                   "id" => $id
                 ));

$arrayIds = array();
foreach ($values as $value) {
    $arrayIds[] = $value->getId();            
}  
$form->get('your_check_name')->setValue($arrayIds); 

1) Fetch all ids and direct set into checkbox form field.so it will automatically populate.

To populate multicheckbox you have to provide array with the key of checkboxes that has to be checked:

$values = array(
    'my_mylticheckbox' => array(1,3,5)
);
$form->populate($values);

or if you want to make checked only one checkbox:

$values = array('my_multicheckbox' => 3);
$form->populate($values);

So, just make sure you pass an array as the value for you multicheckbox.

Looks like you are doing a $form>populate() on the form before you add all the elements to the cat_parent control. Reversing the order of those two blocks - first add the cats to the cat_parent control, then add the get the db values and populate - should do the trick.

[As a side comment, I'd probably push much of this down into the form itself. Allow your form to take the noChildsCategory object/array in the constructor, then let the init() value add the multiOptions. Also, I'd probably push the db read/write into a model object of some sort. Then the controller becomes much slimmer and you can unit test the forms and models independent of the controller code. Just a thought.]
