Dynamically name array <input> checkbox ?

Is it possible to generate dynamic array names for input checkbox forms ?

I'm using this code to generate a form of text fields and checkboxs

PHP Code:
<?php 
  
require_once("includes/connection.php"); 
  require_once(
"includes/functions.php"); 
  include(
"includes/header.php"); 
?> 
<?php 
    $query 
"SELECT key_id, words FROM keywords"
    
$result mysql_query($query); 
    
confirm_query($result); 
    
$options ""
    while(
$row mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 
        
$options .= "{$row[1]}:<input type=\"checkbox\" value=".$row[0]." name=\"section[]\" />\n"
    } 
    
$number_of_uploads 3
?> 
<body> 
    <div id="con"> 
        <form name="upload_form" action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
        <?php 
            
for($counter 1;$counter<=$number_of_uploads;$counter++){ 
        
?> 
        <p> 
        <b>Image:</b> 
            <textarea name="title[]" cols="30" rows="1"></textarea> 
        </p> 
        <p> 
        <b>Sections:</b> 
        <?php echo $options ;?> 
        </p> 
        <?php 
            

        
?> 
        <br/> 
        <p> 
            <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Photos" /> 
        </p> 
        </form> 
    </div> 
</body> 
</html>
The while loop generates the checkbox's and the values from all the checkbox's are stored in section[] which can them be used from $_POST['section'].

PHP Code:
while($row mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 
    
$options .= "{$row[1]}:<input type=\"checkbox\" value=".$row[0]." name=\"section[]\" />\n"

What I want to be able to do is create a seperate array for each loop of the while loop so each set of checkbox's created in one loop has it's own array.

Something like:

PHP Code:
name="section[].$row[0]\" 
How can I have a seperate array for each loop of the array?

How can I then access this array with php from the $_POST array ?

I thought I might be able to access the array with something like:
But this doesn't work.

PHP Code:
<?php
    
echo "<pre>";
        
print_r($_POST['section'['.1.']]);
    echo 
"</pre>";
?>
