if you use CHECKED KEY word to set a checkbox selected. example below:

PHP

if($value)//previously selected
{
 $checked="CHECKED";
}
else $checked="";
?>
<input type="CHECKBOX">>
</input>

<input id="check" name="check" type="checkbox" value="Other" <?php echo empty($_POST['check']) ? '' : ' checked="checked" '; ??> />
