So say I have a link on the page that the checkbox is on to a file called program.php How would I add name value pairs to the querystring when someone clicks on the checkbox? Then when I click on the link program.php it should read program.php?checkbox1=on where checkbox1 is the name of the checkbox that is selected.

When you can use JavaScript, you can set/get any query string with location object and can make a new request with the query string. You can catch any event that JavaScript supports including click at checkbox,etc, to change query string, to make a new request, etc. Try to take a look at JavaScript book/reference, you'll see how it can be done :) -- Yasuo Ohgaki

I've got checkbox that I get the status of with javascript and I put the status into a javascript variable. How do I get that variable over to php? I don't want to hit the submit button to get the variable into php.

Use query string or cookie. Just becareful with cookie isn't on always and has limitations. You cannot use too large query string also.
