The main two things I see...

First one, I'm not sure of, but I think there should be no spaces in the names for the options:

name="option[]" instead of name="option[ ]"

Once you have that setup, you will have an array of $_POST['option'] that will contain the values checked. If you don't check any checkboxes though, this will NOT exist at all.

So in your code you need to do if ( isset( $_POST['options'] ) ) { /* process the array */ }

I was a little bored while watching a movie, and threw this sample together for you. Note, this is designed to be a single file, form on same page that processes it, and submits to itself.

The big plus side to that is it will let you know errors on the form, and auto fill in (and check) what was already submitted instead of an unfriendly "Go Back and try again..." type of thing.

Also since field inputs get repeated (especially if you use this across several forms) I have text inputs and checkbox inputs set up as functions. As you will see, the HTML portion of the code is much cleaner this way.

PS. just noticed when I looked it over, there is a type on line 63, it should say None Selected instead of Non Selected
