Note that you can use arrays when naming your form elements -- isn't PHP
wonderful :). Thus you can have:
<input type="check" name="chkAuthStatus[0]" checked>
<input type="check" name="chkAuthStatus[1]" checked>
<input type="check" name="chkAuthStatus[2]" checked> ...etc
This simplifies the code somewhat as you can now loop through the elements
of the array $chkAuthStatus to find out whether it is checked or not.
