                                    { 
                                        echo  ' checked="checked"" '; 
                                    }
                                }
                            } ?> />Van

            <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />

</form>

Use `echo ' checked="checked" ';` instead of `echo ' checked="checked"" ';` — Bindiya Patoliya, Aug 31 '13 at 05:30

You could iterate through the vehicles, and print out the items accordingly (with their corresponding checked values), in one fell swoop. Something like this would work:

$vehicles = array('Bus', 'Van'); // You can add as many as you want!

foreach($vehicles as $vehicle) {
    // Should it be checked?
    $checked = '';
    if(isset($_POST['car'])) {
        if(in_array($vehicle,$_POST['car']) $checked="checked='checked'";
    }

    // Add the element
    echo "<input type='checkbox' name='car[]' value='{$vehicle}' {$checked}> 
        {$vehicle}";
}

HTML uses double quotes (`"`), not single quotes. – arkascha Aug 31 '13 at 05:33
