How about you name your checkboxes as:
name="setting[xx]"
where xx is from your $vars array above. You'll end up with
name="setting[noPlatform]" value="1"
name="setting[noPrice]" value="1"
etc...
Now, you'll have $_POST['setting'] that'll contain the checked boxes.
To put those in session:
$_SESSION['setting'] = $_POST['setting'];
To see which boxes were checked...
$checked = array_keys($_POST['setting']);
or
$checked = array_keys($_SESSION['setting']);
$checked now an array similar to your $vars above but it only contains the
values that were checked.
To find out which checkboxes were NOT checked, you could use:
$not_checked = array_diff($vars,$checked);
Easy, eh?? Hope that helps.
