You should consider using MySQL special column type SET: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/set.html Or encoding each checkbox status as a binary bit in an integer

I was going to suggest this also- if nothing else it would be a cool way to learn a bit (pun intended :-) about bitmask/bitfields/bitwise-operations.
