two things.
firstly your answer
<?php
echo $form->input('ModelName',array('label'=>'label','type'=>'select',
'multiple'=>'checkbox'));
?>
Adding multiple checkbox to your input array will provide checkboxes where you
might have had a multiple select.
secondly - I appreciate you have a problem but you can't blame list subscribers
for not giving you an answer. Especially if you post it on a friday. I cant
imagine many people have been following this list over the weekend instead they
are christmas shopping and getting merry.
In the future, also ensure your subject is relevant. '3 days and not 1 person
has any idea' doesn't describe a problem that anyone reading email titles would
look at.
Searching for 'cakephp multiple checkbox' on google found this result on the
first page

You'd also have found the answer in book.cakephp.org
