You need to give your form fields meaningful names. "checkbox" is not a good name for a form field.

 

One glaring problem is that you have multiple fields with the same name

 

 

<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" id= "checkbox" value="1" checked/>
<input type="submit" name="checkbox" value="Submit">
