Oh, checked as in examining, not checked as in selected?

I'm afraid I'll have to echo Mark here -- hunh?

remember the signup page i've shown here?

well the itnerests are stored as a string (i didn't see anything that looked appropriate for arrays). the issue is NOT turning the strings back into arrays, but rather the fact i can't think of a way to test thesewithout going in and out of html when creating the page. i'm trying to use the
echo <<blah blah

<?php
 blah blah 
?>

blah blah <?php
method since it's a bit easier. i just don't know how to display it in the control panels echoing it out as selected, so i check to see if anything's checked in that section and if so update the entire thing. i'm trying to figure out something that i can do that checks them all at once or something instead of checking as i'm echoing it out

1. Set a flag, or some way to tell that the item is checked (obviously).

Check whether the item is checked.

<?php
if ($checkboxflag == \"y\") {
   $checked = 'checked=\"checked\" ';
   }
else {
   $checked = '';
   }
echo \"
<input name=\\"setofcheckboxes[]\\" value=\\"\\" type=\\"checkbox\\" $checked/>
?>
