it took me a while to find this out, too.
If you have say, 5 checkboxes, name them like so:
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="monk">
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="trane">
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="miles">
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="dizzy">
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="bird">
when submitted, in the script processing the form, check the array
$musicians[]. The checked selections will be included as elements.
So if trane and bird were checked, you will have a 2-element array in
$musicians[].
$musicians[0] == "trane"
$musicians[1] == "bird"
HTH.
