How to Transform Checkbox Values from 1 or 0 to Yes or No in PhpWord

When working with forms and document templates in PHP, especially when using libraries like PhpWord, you may encounter situations where checkboxes yield boolean outputs of 1 and 0. This can be a bit cumbersome, particularly when the output is meant for users. Having more descriptive options like Yes and No can enhance clarity and user experience.

This guide will guide you through the steps necessary to achieve this transformation seamlessly.

Understanding the Problem

In your scenario, you have a form that utilizes checkboxes. Instead of the boolean values (0 for unchecked, 1 for checked), you want to generate a document where these values display as either Yes or No:

Checkbox checked returns 1

Checkbox unchecked returns 0

Your goal is to replace these numbers with more user-friendly terms.

The Solution

To replace the boolean values with Yes and No, follow these steps:

Step 1: Modify Checkbox Values

You will need to adjust the code in your controller where the checkbox values are set. Here's how you can implement this:

Step 2: Implement Changes in Your Existing Code

Replace the relevant lines in your action method (edit() method in this case) with the improved logic as shown above. This will ensure that the PhpWord template receives Yes or No instead of 1 or 0.

Step 3: Saving and Downloading

Finally, you can keep the rest of your document generation code intact as it will still handle saving and returning the document as intended.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you can easily convert checkbox inputs from boolean values of 1 and 0 into descriptive answers of Yes and No. This change not only improves document readability but also enhances the overall user experience.
