$checkboxvalue = $_POST['checkboxname'] is how you get the value of a checkbox. For example, if you have
<input type=checkbox name=checkbox value=10> in your form, on submitting, you access the value (only if the checkbox is checked) as, $checkbox = $_POST['checkbox'];
So, $checkbox has the value 10.

<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox5" value="Batata Harra Plate $3.00" />
Batata Harra Plate $3.00</label></td>

Right now i have changed text box value , now you receive the chk box value in $-POST , so easy to send the chk box value
