That was part of the problem: there was no space before 'checked'.

True. I used print_r to display the arrays and that way I found out, that I used
the wrong separator in the split function.

I used \n, not \r.


So the final code became:

<?PHP
$TRK=$Data['Trykkeri'][0];
$TRK2=split("\n",$TRK);

foreach($Vis2ListResult['valueLists']['Trykkeri'] as $key=>$value){			
if(in_array($value,$TRK2)){ $Select="checked";}else{$Select="";} ?>
	<input type="checkbox" name="Trykkeri" value="<?PHP echo $value; ?>" <?PHP echo
$Select;?>><?PHP echo $value;
											}?>

Next phase is to use this to also update FileMaker.
