Separation of logic versus content inquiry

I would do as you said - query in the model, logic in the controller. I would then set a variable to TRUE/FALSE based on whether it was checked or not. Then in my view, I would echo 'checked' if that variable was TRUE, nothing if it was not - thus, checking the box appropriately.

Another way would be to set that variable to ' checked' or '' and echo that out in your view - but that's lacks the beauty of the TRUE/FALSE to me and is less extensible in the future.
