checking a checkbox

[Anon]

OK I got a MySQL Database I got a field called myfield I got a form with a checkBox
<input type=checkbox value=checked ... >

I have NO problem with populating the database.

But if I go back to this form the field is not unchecked How do I keep it checked so I know I checked this field before

<input type=checkbox value=checked ... <?php echo $myfield ?>>

I thought would work but its not echoing the field so what must I do to keep this field checked once checked

Thanks for your help

<input type=checkbox name="check" value=checked <?php if ($check == "checked") print "checked"; ?>>

But what if you want to check if it is checked? When they don't check it, it won't sent the checkbox either?
