It would probably be best to start a new thread with a new subject line 
for this question.

If you want a layer to ALWAYS be on, simply set the status=default in 
your .map file.

If you want to use check boxes, check out the documentation for HTML 
legends, they are pretty slick.

And lastly, you probably would not code check boxes with PHP unlesss you 
were using PHP MapScript, because PHP is a server language. Since you 
are using CGI, you would manage your check boxes on the client (browser) 
side with JavaScript.
