  1. What is the $model variable? You haven't defined it in your code sample.

    1. Sorry for delay ...

      Please see the below example to understand the $model object.

      Example:

      $model = Mage::getModel('module/model_name')->load($edt_id);

      Here in $model object we are loading the data to edit the content with respect to the ID from DB.

      And $model->getCheckboxName();// getting the checkbox field value from db

      The 'CheckboxName' is the field name of checkbox which is going to return the checkbox field value (i.e true or flase).

      Do, let me know if you have further queries.

      Thanks,
