Checkbox value not properly checked

Question

<?php
$i = 0;
foreach($prj_data as $prj_pop) {?>
    <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox_project" value="<?php echo  $prj_pop->name;?>"
<?php
if($temp_imp[$i]==$prj_pop->name) echo 'checked="true"'; ?>>
<?php //echo  $prj_pop->name; ?>
    <br><br>
<?php
    $i++;
}?>

Foreach is used for showing the dynamic checkboxes
Total checkboxes are 4
$temp_imp[$i] is getting the values
```
School Children    Admission Fee
```
$prj_pop->name is also having values
```
School Children    Admission Fee
```
Actual output to be checkbox to be checked while editing is 2 checkboxes since $i is incremented all the checkboxes are selected. Pls help me with this. The above is my way

value i am using for populating the textarea when checkboxes are selected — Siva Shanker, Jun 14 '13 at 20:14
So, you're comparing value to value: `School = School`, `Children = Children`, etc. Definitely all checkboxes will be checked. — u_mulder, Jun 14 '13 at 20:32

don't use checked="true", but use either just the word checked, or checked="checked"

and as u_mulder said, your comparing 1=1, or always true values, compare against a actual dynamic value.
