    You need to check whether the database value for that field name is set to the value you have set it to as checked.

    Example:
    
<?php
function checkbox_checked($value,$compare) {

	if($value == $compare) {
		
		echo ' checked';	
		
	}

}
?>
    PHP:
    
<input type="checkbox" name="field_name_here" value="value_here"<?php echo checkbox_checked('value_here',$db_value_for_field_here); ?> />
