**Description: **\\ Produces a checkbox tag tailored for accessing the attribute identified by $column_name on $object_name.\\ It's expected that $column_name will return an integer and if that integer is above zero, then the checkbox is checked.\\ Additional $options on the input tag are to be passed as an array.\\ The $checked_value defaults to 1 while the $unchecked_value defaults to 0. Usually unchecked checkboxes don't post anything. We work around this problem by adding a hidden value with the same name as the checkbox.\\ **Example 1: **\\ $form_helper->check_box("post", "validate"); If $Post->validate() returns 1, the HTML code generated is

**Example 2: **\\ $form_helper->check_box("puppy", "gooddog", array(), "yes", "no"); If $Puppy->gooddog() returns no, the HTML code generated is
