You should change the checkbox names, they are all the same now (each checkbox name has to be unique). PHP code to identify whether a checkbox is checked, use:

if(isset($_POST['checkbox_name'])) echo 'checked';

You need to post the form.


myform.php

<form action="check.php" method="POST" name="myform">
<input name="cd0" type="checkbox"  checked="checked">
</form>

check.php

<?PHP
if(isset($_POST['cd0'])){ echo 'checked';} 
?>
