Just what I said.  What's in $_POST when you get the results back?

print_r($_POST);

does wonders for debugging!

You don't need the id - that's for DOM (and each id must be unique).

When you get the results back the choices (if any) will be in 
$_POST['checkbox'], which will be an array.  Again, print out the values 
in $_POST so you can see them.
