Any hints are greatly appreciated.

I don't know what type of field you're trying to use to populate the
checkbox, but it basically comes down to this:

/>

or

/>

You've got to decide what is "checked" and "unchecked" for your
checkbox, and then make that a condition which triggers a "checked" or
"unchecked" state for the box. If you like, you can also put a
value="something" attribute in the input tag as well.

When your user is finished inputting the form and you go to process the
results, you can check for the existence of the checkbox name in the
$_POST variable, or check that the $_POST variable contains the value
you set in the value="something" attribute.

Checkboxes and radio buttons are tricky in this way, because they don't
normally return values in the same way an  field
does.
