When using checkboxes, I believe only the checked selections are sent when the
form is being submitted. May want to consider adding something like "value=true"
to each of the checkboxes. That way when you can check the value before
inserting it into the table.

<?php

if($_POST['skill04'] == "true")
{
$selected_array[] = "skill04";
}
if($_POST['skill05'] == "true")
{
$selected_array[] = "skill05";
}
if($_POST['skill06'] == "true")
{
$selected_array[] = "skill06";
}
?>

That would give you and scalar/indexed array of only the selected items from
your form.
