You can use an array for the name. ex:
<select name=choices[] multiple>
<option value=1>a</option>

Same with Checkboxes. Use name=choices[]. Of course, you will have to
dynamically create the checkboxes, something like:
foreach ($values as $key => $value) {
echo "<input type=checkbox value=$key> $value\n";
}
