Hi,

for this you do not need to store all the values in session.

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
?><input type="Checkbox" name="a[]" id="a[]" value="<?=$row['servicec']?>"><?echo $row['servicec'];
echo "<br />";
$i++;
}

now when you will post this page then in next page you will get only those values that are selected then you can store those values in session.

You can test the following example.

<?
   if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
	{
		$aa = $_POST["a"];
		foreach($aa as $i)
		{
			echo $i." ";
		}		
		exit;
	}

?>

<form method=post action="">
<input type=checkbox name=a[] id=a[] value=1> 
<input type=checkbox name=a[] id=a[] value=2> 
<input type=checkbox name=a[] id=a[] value=3> 
<input type=checkbox name=a[] id=a[] value=4> 
<input type=checkbox name=a[] id=a[] value=5> 

<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>
</form>
