Same way as in the thread "Multiple Select".
Add [] after the name, to indicate to the receiving PHP script that it
should treat it as an array. Like this:
<input type="checkbox" name="foo[]" value="bar 1">
<input type="checkbox" name="foo[]" value="bar 2">
and so on...
Then you will receive the values in an array called $foo.
$foo[0] == "bar 1";
$foo[1] == "bar 2";
