Your input should be

<input type="hidden" id="car" name="vehicle[]" value="car" />
<input type="hidden" id="bike" name="vehicle[]" value="bike" />
<input type="hidden" id="truck" name="vehicle[]" value="truck" />
<input type="hidden" id="cycle" name="vehicle[]" value="cycle" />
<input type="hidden" id="train" name="vehicle[]" value="train" />

then in server side

<?php

$vehicles=$_POST["vehicle"];

foreach($vehicles as $vehicle){
 // Do your sfuff here
}

?>

If using ajax this may help you

$.ajax({
    url: "index.php",
    type: 'POST',
    data: form_data,
    dataType:"json",
    success: function(data) {
        alert(data[0]);
   }

First

Id must be unique
so if you want to use same id then use class instead

Second

name="themes" should be name="themes[]"

Good read
