As far as I know, you can't name different checkboxes with the same name (seems odd to me to do this anyway...). When you submit a form to a php page, the php page will have a variable for each input item in your form. So if you have checkbox items named, "a", "b", "c", and "d", and submit a form with "a" and "c" checked, then the values of $a and $c will be "on", and $b and $d will have no values. It's sometimes good to use the isset() function on checkbox items. In this case, isset($a) would return 1 and isset($b) would return 0. Hope that helps.
