A different way to do this is

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb[123]" VALUE="on">Category Description
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb[137]" VALUE="on">Category Description

Then in you PHP, you can do
<?php
if (isset($_POST['cb']))
foreach $_POST['cb'] as $key=>$dmy)
echo 'You chose catagory ' . $key . '<br>';
?>

This works because only those checkboxes that are actually checked are
sent to your script.
