Well, this little snippet works for me...
<?php
$avail = 'n';
?>
<FORM ACTION=check.php METHOD=GET>
<input type="checkbox" name="avail" value="" <?php if ($avail == 'n') {
echo 'CHECKED'; }?>>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
<?php
if(isset($avail)) {
echo "Value of AVAIL: $avail";
}
?>
If you aren't getting the value you expect in $avail you may have
problems.
