foreach checkbox to keep POST values

I've attempted to store POST values into selected checkboxes, I'm having some problem with it storing data after the form is submitted. This is what I have:

<fieldset>
            <legend>Categories:</legend>
            <?php $sql3 = 'SELECT id, name FROM category'; 
                    foreach ($dbConnection->query($sql3) as $category) { ?>
            <div>       
                <label for="category<?php echo($category['id']);?>">
                <input type="checkbox" name="categories[]" id="category<?php echo($category['id']); ?>" value="<?php echo($category['id']); ?>"
                <?php if(isset($_POST['category']) && $_POST['category'] == $category['id']) { echo 'checked'; } ?>>
                <?php echo($category['name']); ?></label>
            </div>
            <?php } ?>
            </fieldset>

Any chance someone can lend a hand with it?

change your if statement to this:

<?php if(isset($_POST['categories']) && in_array($category['id'],$_POST['categories'])) { echo 'checked'; } ?>>
        <?php echo($category['name']); ?></label>
