Ticking a check box based on a value from a record

Hello
I am retreiving records into a table (part of the code below)

<td width="20%" class="BodyText"><?php echo
$commindex; ?></td>
<td width="10%" class="BodyText"><?php echo
$username; ?></td>
<td width="45%" class="BodyText"><?php echo
$comment; ?></td>
<td width="10%" class="BodyText">
<input name="checkbox2" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo <td
width="20%" class="BodyText"><?php echo $commindex;
?></td>
<td width="10%" class="BodyText"><?php echo
$username; ?></td>
<td width="45%" class="BodyText"><?php echo
$comment; ?></td>
<td width="10%" class="BodyText">
<input name="checkbox2" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo
$available; ?>" MYFUNCTIONHERE>
</td>; ?>">
</td>

The last cell contains a check box, its value is set to $available. which is
a value of 1 or 0.
Trouble is I want the check box to be ticked if the value is 1 and unticked
if the value is 0
I thought of using a function such as

function checked($avail) {
if ($avail = $available) {
return 'checked';
}
}

after the value part of the code (where I have written MYFUNCTIONHERE)
which would put the work 'checked' in the appropriate place
but my inexperience means I cant get the syntax correct

can anyone help

Ignore my question I just found it

if($available == 1){echo " CHECKED";}

Thanks for your time
