you cannot mix javascript and php. php is server side and javascript is client side.

here is how i would handle this:

HTML CODE

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<form name="myform" method='post'>

<input name="category1" type="checkbox" value="flowers"/>

<input name="category2" type="checkbox" value="animals"/>

<input name="category3" type="checkbox" value="children"/>

<input name="category4" type="checkbox" value="nature"/> 

<input name="category5" type="checkbox" value="nature"/>

<input name="category6" type="checkbox" value="other"/>

<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

PHP CODE

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  $i = 1;
  while ($i < 7) {
    $value = $_POST['category'.$i];
    if ($value !== '') {
      $sql = "INSERT INTO `mytable` (`cat`) VALUES ('" . $i . "')";
      $query = mysql_query($sql);
    }
  }
}

?>

there is another way but it has never worked for me so I will not post that here
