Bug description:  can't use checkboxes sharing same control name

Description:
------------
When there are more checkboxes within form, which share same control name,
it is impossible to get all checked values after form is submitted. The
problem holds over regardless what method is used. Normally I'd expect
array of values in $_REQUEST superglobal variable instead of single basic
value. To be honest I've found the problem in PHP Version 4.3.3 and didn't
check if it exists in later versions.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php //this is file example.php

  print_r($_REQUEST['records']);

?>



<form method="get" action="example.php">

  <input type="checkbox" name="records" value="A" checked>

  <input type="checkbox" name="records" value="B" checked>

  <input type="submit">

</form>



Expected result:
----------------
Array ( [1] => A [2] => B)

Actual result:
--------------
B
