Only the values for boxes which are checked are sent, so the best way of
accessing these is with a foreach loop over the id[] array (you should also
check for no values, as then you won't even have an array at all!!). So:
if (is_array($_POST['id'])):
foreach ($_POST['id'] as $id):
// do an INSERT for the current $id
endforeach;
endif;
Cheers!
