Would it be enough to set a key for each checkbox, for example explicitly
say:
checkbox[1]
checkbox[2]
checkbox[3]
then a non checked box will have an empty string as a value, whereas the
checked ones will have a value of 'Y'.
Nope. That's the problem. If a checkbox is unchecked the browser doesn't need to send it all when it submits the server...

I have a form with a number of checkboxes grouped together. The value of
these boxes is stored in an array: $used[]. Now I found that the value of
checked boxes (value = 'Y') are stored in the array while non checked

have all checkbox values in the array.
That's how HTML forms work. The general solution is to set the value of
the
checkbox to describe what the checkbox is (for example, the row id of the
database record that the checkbox is associated with). Then you can loop
through and see which values were submitted.
