Use radiobuttons instead or you need to throw in javascript (don't use jscript
as it works on limited browsers) that checks if more than one checkbox is
marked, but how to do that, you should ask on a javascript newsgroup.

$array=explode(',',$row[X]);

<input type="checkbox" name="something" <?php if(in_array("something",$array))
{ echo "CHECKED"; } ?>>


Don't say that the example will work right off, it's a long time since I used
checkboxes, but just make minor tweaks and it should work fine.
