Hi Pintu Nayak,
In this code, you've done a little mistake in 'form.php' file. Replace your code with following code:
'form.php' Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title> PHP Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="checkbox.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="chk1[]" value="a">a<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="chk1[]" value="b">b<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="chk1[]" value="c">c<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="chk1[]" value="d">d<br />
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Please marked as answer if this code will solve your problem.

Hi Pintu,
If you are talking about group of checkbox with same name and you want to insert values of those checkbox which is checked, then you have to write following script to retrive values of those checkbox.

      <?php
    $checkBox = $_POST['things'];
    for($i=0; $i<sizeof($checkBox); $i++){
    $query = "INSERT INTO table(things) values('".$checkBox[$i]."')";
    mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
    }
    ?>

If this is not correct answer then please clarify your question that what you want to do with multiple checkbox in php.
