The reason is that:
1) unchecked checkboxes do not make it into php
2) because you're not specifying an index for the array (level[]), php will
create it for you automatically
So instead of using just
name="level[]"
specify the level explicitly:
name="level[0]", name="level[1]", etc
NB you should do the same for prob[] as well.
Having done that then in your example you should get something like:
$prob[0]: Problem one
$prob[1]: Problem two $level[1]: High
$prob[2]: Problem three $level[2]: Low
NB that $level[0] is undefined.
