Question about posting a value in form

[msin147]

I know I have to change the query for this to work the way I want it to. I think I have that part figured out but I am having trouble with the existing form here and assigning the values of these checkboxes into the variable for the category search. Right now in this example I am using $sIDs I have also used $cid, $cids, $sobiCid. I am wondering if maybe I cant post because I have my checkboxes in the existing get form or I am just doing something wrong. I have been testing with just one box to see if I can get a response when I search or printing to see if it is right but no luck. Will someone look at this and tell me what I am doing wrong to make the checkboxes values be the search parameter for category search.

Thank you here is code:

	<form id="sobiSearchFormContainer" accept-charset="<?php echo $iso[1];?>" action="<?php echo $config->liveSite; ?>/<?php echo $index;?>" method="get" name="sobiSearchFormContainer">
	<table class="sobi2eSearchForm">
       
        <tr>

				<?php if( $config->key("search", "search_box", true )) { ?>
					<input name="sobi2Search" id="sobi2Search" class="inputbox" value="<?php echo $String; ?>" onclick="if (this.value == '<?php echo _SOBI2_SEARCH_INPUTBOX; ?>') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = '<?php echo _SOBI2_SEARCH_INPUTBOX; ?>';"/>
