Help With Checkboxes in WordPress Plugin

[gilgimech]

I’m writing a plugin for my site that preserves html tags in the excerpt. I got it to work with a textfield. Where I manually put in the html tags, but I want to use checkbox’s instead.

I have an array of the html tags called $excerpt_tags and a foreach loop that outputs the array list with checkbox’s.

I just don’t know how to set the checkbox’s to my preserve html option

Here’s the code for the texfield

public function lz_excerpt($lz_text) {



$get_lz_funSettings = new FunctionSettings();

$lz_values = $get_lz_funSettings->lz_funcSettings();



$raw_excerpt = $lz_text;

if ( '' == $lz_text ) {

//Retrieve the post content.

$lz_text = get_the_content('');



//Delete all shortcode tags from the content.

$lz_text = strip_shortcodes( $lz_text );



$lz_text = apply_filters('the_content', $lz_text);

$lz_text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $lz_text);



$lz_allowed_tags = $lz_values;



$lz_text = strip_tags($lz_text, $lz_allowed_tags);



if ($lz_values == 'true') {

$lz_excerptlength = $lz_values;

$lz_set_excerpt_length = apply_filters('excerpt_length', $lz_excerptlength);

}



if ($lz_values == 'true') {

$lz_excerptMoreLink = $lz_values;

$lz_excerpt_more_link = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' '. $lz_excerptMoreLink.' ');

}



$words = preg_split("/[nrt ]+/", $lz_text, $lz_set_excerpt_length + 1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

if ( count($words) > $lz_set_excerpt_length ) {

array_pop($words);

$lz_text = implode(' ', $words);

$lz_text = $lz_text . $lz_excerpt_more_link;

} else {

$lz_text = implode(' ', $words);

}

}

return apply_filters('wp_trim_excerpt', $lz_text, $raw_excerpt);

}

}





if (!class_exists("functionSettings")) {

class functionSettings {

public $lz_adminOptionsName = "HeadCleanUpAdminOptions";

public function lz_funcSettings(){

$lz_adminOptions = array(

'ena_expLength' => 'false',

'set_expLength' => '10',

'ena_expMoreLink' => 'false',

'set_expMoreLink' => '',

'set_allowed_tags' => ''

);

$lz_settings = get_option($this->lz_adminOptionsName);

if (!empty($lz_settings)) {

foreach ($lz_settings as $key => $option)

$lz_adminOptions[$key] = $option;

}

update_option($this->lz_adminOptionsName, $lz_adminOptions);

return $lz_settings;

}

}





Preserved Tags




 <?php _e(apply_filters('format_to_edit',htmlentities($lz_adminOptions)), 'layzeeFunctions') ?>

Like I said this works, so how can I do this but with checkbox’s?
