One way you could do it is to put a hidden input before each checkbox with

This works because PHP will process all input fields in order overwriting

There are three solutions:
1. Change your error reporting level to 55: error_reporting(55). This
will stop warning your undefined variables.
2. Prefix the variable with an at-mark: @$_POST['go
You can just check for
