You should change the checkbox names, they are all the same now (each checkbox name has to be unique). PHP code to identify whether a checkbox is checked, use:

if(isset($_POST['checkbox_name'])) echo 'checked';

You need to post the form.


myform.php

<form action="check.php" method="POST" name="myform"> <input name="cd0" type="checkbox" checked="checked"> </form>

check.php

<?PHP if(isset($_POST['cd0'])){ echo 'checked';} ?>
