Answer 1

You need to name the so you can use the data.

name="food[]"

Like this

foodA foodB foodC foodD foodE

Then if you want the value to be 0 or 1, depending on selected or not, you can use the following to replace this:

$foodA = $_POST['foodA'];
$foodB = $_POST['foodB'];
$foodC = $_POST['foodC'];
$foodD = $_POST['foodD'];
$foodE = $_POST['foodE'];

to

$foodA = 0;
$foodB = 0;
$foodC = 0;
$foodD = 0;
$foodE = 0;

foreach ($_POST['food'] as $value) {
    if($value == 'foodA')
        $foodA = 1;
    if($value == 'foodB')
        $foodB = 1;
    if($value == 'foodC')
        $foodC = 1;
    if($value == 'foodD')
        $foodD = 1;
    if($value == 'foodE')
        $foodE = 1;
}
