OK, let's see:
First, do the connection to your DB
$query= "select * from groups"; // get the data from your grous table
$ri=mysql_query($query, $li); // execute the query agains your table
while ($data=mysql_fetch_row($ri)) { // get the row in turn, $data is the array that holds your group data
// the following line prints the checkboxes along with it's values and description
echo("<input name='sel_group[]' type='checkbox' value=".$data[0].">".$data[1]."<BR>");
}
