I've changed the code for the above line so the name now is unique for
each element. That now lets me grab whichever one/s are checked. But,
another problem has arisen.
I also have a JavaScript toggle to 'Select/Unselect All' checkboxes,
which works fine. But the 'checked' status doesn't seem to be getting
passed to the PHP code. So, when I display the items checked, it is
incorrect. Refreshing the page also doesn't seem to correct it. Only
physically clicking the checkboxes seems to work.
