The value property of each checkbox should be set to the actual id of each item, and not to an array (id[]).

HTML Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="<?= $id ?>" />

That $id will probably come from your database as you build the list of items.

To process the form data you use $_POST['checkbox'][$i]:

PHP Code:


			
for ($i = 0; $i < count($_POST['checkbox']); ++$i) {

  echo "item id: " . $_POST['checkbox'][$i];

}

I tested it here, this is the right way to do it.
