I am using a similar approach to a from I have where the admin must assign applications access to users. I have error checking in the form to avoid duplicates, but at least it should give you an idea of how I got it to work. I am using the checkboxes in an array and taking the value of the $_POST from the recordset values.
$AddData="no";
$MM_flag="MM_insert";
if((isset($_POST["insert"])) && (isset($_POST["MM_insert"])== "skills_access")) {
$AddData="yes";
$startWarning="no";
if (!$_POST['applications'] )
{
$AddData = "no";
$startWarning="yes";
?>
<div class="warningstart">Please complete the missing item(s) indicated. </div>
<?php
// if the applicaiton selection is missing - display error message
if (!isset($_POST['applications'])) { ?>
<div class="warning">
<li>Select at least one Application</li></div>
<?php } ?>
<div class="warningend"></div>
<?php
}
//else
}

this form allows for check all checkboxes or uncheck all check boxes using javascript so in the head tag place this code (if you want to allow use)
<script type="text/javascript">
var formblock;
var forminputs;
function prepare()
{ formblock= document.getElementById('skills_access'); <--your form name
forminputs = formblock.getElementsByTagName('input');
}
function select_all(name, value) { for (i = 0; i < forminputs.length; i++) {
// regex here to check name attribute
var regex = new RegExp(name, "i");
if (regex.test(forminputs[i].getAttribute('name')))
{
if (value == '1')
{
forminputs[i].checked = true;
}
else
{
forminputs[i].checked = false;
}
}
}
}
if (window.addEventListener)
{ window.addEventListener("load", prepare, false);
}
else if (window.attachEvent)
{ window.attachEvent("onload", prepare)
} else if (document.getElementById)
{ window.onload = prepare;}
</script>

(There may be a bit more in this example than needed, but I was testing a few more things and have some additional stuff to add to it)
As I stated this is a simple example, but should get you started if nothing else.
Hope it helps!
