echo "<TD width=\"15%\" valign=\"top\"><input type=\"checkbox\"
name=\"choice",$count,"\" value=\"", $query_data["prod_id"],"\"></TD>\n</TR>";
Your problem is with this line. Look closely at the following part:
name=\"choice",$count,"\"
You should do this:
name=\"choice" . $count . "\"
... and it will generate names like 'choice1', 'choice2', and so on.
