Repopulating checkbox using CI syntax: confused.

[eluser]Medikal[/eluser]
I hate to dig up an old thread, but I have a ton of checkboxes such as this:

Code:

&lt;? echo form_checkbox('category[]', 'apparel', ($this->form_validation->set_checkbox('category[]', 'apparel'))?TRUE:FALSE).'Apparel<br>'; ?&gt;

And it is failing to work, any suggestions?
