> the user attempts to choose, nothing really happens.

Problems I see right off the bat are:
1) your form tag has no action (action=""), therefore no action will be
taken upon submit.
2) your checkboxes have no unique value, so even if your form WAS being
submitted to some other page, you wouldn't be able to tell which ones were
checked.
To solve these problems, set your form action to the page that is to process
the POST, then change this line:
> <input name="select" type="checkbox" id="select"
> value="checkbox">
...to be something like
> <input name="select" type="checkbox" id="select"
> value="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['product'];?>">
