Don't forget to mention that even if you don't select a checkbox it will still add a empty record to the db.. i know for sure the foreach loop will add a record even if a box is not check, so you have to check its actually set before you start inserting.

One way:
for ($i = 0; $i < count($media_types); $++)
{
$query = "INSERT INTO media_art (media_art_id,art_id, media_id)
VALUES ('','$art_id','{$media_types[$i]}')";
// perform query here
}
Another:
foreach ($media_types as $type)
{
$query = "INSERT INTO media_art (media_art_id,art_id, media_id)
VALUES ('','$art_id','$type')";
// perform query here
}
