I advice you to use CSS to achieve that.
One thing you could do, is to add a 'inline' class to your label. Like this:
$form->remember_me->getDecorator('Label')->setOption('class', 'inline');
Then in your CSS something like:
label.inline {
display: inline;
/* or */
float: left;
margin-right: 5px;
}
Or if you want the checkbox to be on the left of the label, then give
'inline' class to the element itself instead. And apply the CSS on
input.inline.
Hope this helps,
