1)Name value pairs of check boxes which are checked will be
returned.
2)To figure out which check box is returning "yes" you can use the
keys of the cbox[] array which is returned. That is if your query
returns 10 rows .. and user checks checkbox 1,3 and 5 out of those
.. then $cbox[0], $cbox[2],$cbox[4] .. will have values "yes".
3)Then you can use $checked = array_keys($cbox) .. and $checked
will be an array having all the keys of returned cbox array. ie
(0,2,4) in the above case.
