You can just say "checked", you know. no need for "checked=checked", that's just silly. — MightyPork, Jun 30 '14 at 19:26

If you mean that $row2->genre is a string containing multiple genres, then

if(stristr($row2->genre,'action')){ echo /*whatever*/; }

whether you use checked=checked or just checked depends on your doctype.
