What functions? Server-side functions that you've created? What
argument types do those functions take? Arrays of some base type?

What client-side language are you using? How are you receiving the
checkbox choices? As an array with the selected elements? If your
API can't automatically create a PostgreSQL array from a client
language array, then you could build a string that represents the
array using one of the formats described in the "Arrays" section
of the PostgreSQL documentation:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/arrays.html

If that's not what you're looking for then please provide more
information.

BTW, this seems off-topic for pgsql-admin. Pgsql-interfaces,
pgsql-general, pgsql-novice, or perhaps pgsql-php (if you're using
PHP) would be more appropriate.
