Stuck on checkbox query

I need to use two columns of checkboxes to query a mysql db. One column is location and one is size. I can do a query with a drop down menu selection but am stuck on this using checkboxes.

Can you help or tell me where can I obtain a script for this?

a hint: only those checkboxes that are checked are submitted by the browser.

store the values of the checkboxes in the name, not the value

e.g.
Code: 
<input type="checkbox" name="cbox[value1]" /> Value 1

then in your receiving script

Code: 
foreach ($_POST['cbox'] as $val=>$i){
  $values[] = $val;
}
$query = "Select * from table where id IN ("'. implode("','",$values) . "')";

Am I allowed to post my current code here?

Here is my current code using a one drop down menu. I need to replace it with the two checkbox selections, Location (riverside, L A, Orange) and Size(under 1400, 1400 - 2000, over 2000). One must be selected from each column. Location and Size represent two columns of the db.

<script language="JavaScript">

function next(msg) {
document.location = "directory.php?select=" + msg + "&Submit=Select";
}

</script>



<?
// Connect database
mysql_connect("host","property","lop1");
mysql_select_db("property");

$select = "--select--";

// If submitted, check the value of "select". If its not blank value, get the value and put it into $select.
if(isset($select)&&$select!=""){
if(!empty($_GET['select'])){ $select = $_GET['select']; }
}

I would revise my DB Normal form and then afterwards, I would make a simple function that can accept the $row[''] values. That function could then return the correct data, if any.

If you use relations in your database, you can simply do a join and it will be way way better for displaying data.
